Remarks were made during the inauguration ceremony of the Outpatient Cancer Treatment Center of the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN) in Lima, led by Peruvian President Francisco Sagasti.
The minister noted that unlike the first wave the health care system has now learned to strengthen the primary care level, as well as the care of people with pathologies different from those produced by COVID-19 and with chronic conditions that pose a high risk during the pandemic. In the first stage of this pandemic, we closed everything we could in an attempt to avoid further infections, and that included primary care facilities, which complicated the provision of care for many people with long-standing pathologies, mainly with cancer, she explained.
