To develop indicators for measuring the implementation of an intercultural health model, with indigenous users and indigenous and non-indigenous health providers. Methods: Participatory action research. A case study of the intercultural health model was conducted in Loreto county, Orellana province, Ecuador. Results: Thirty-two indicators were identified, and divided into four dimensions: communication and language; health services provision; health services integrated with the community's culture and knowledge, and exchange of experiences. Conclusions: This study incorporated point of views of indigenous users and providers that have not been previously considered in the national intercultural health strategy. In many cases, they are related to the quality of service rather than being a matter of cultural difference.
