NEW YORK/LIMA, APRIL 20, 2021 As a new wave of COVID-19 has swept through Peru over the past few weeks, hospitals are overcrowded, mortality rates are high, and vaccinations are scarce, said the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today. MSF has begun working with health authorities in Huaura province, north of Lima, to help the Peruvian health care system in its outbreak response. The regional hospital in the provincial capital, Huacho, is severely short-handed as it faces an increasing number of COVID-19 patients. MSF, which is working in a 50-bed ancillary facility where it can treat patients and provide oxygen, aims to reduce the demands on the Peruvian health system by providing treatment and detecting new cases earlier to try to prevent hospitalizations.
