Health Minister Pilar Mazzetti and Indian Ambassador to Peru Mandarapu Subbarayudu participated in the delivery ceremony of more than 1.4 million medicine units and protective equipment donated by the Asian country to strengthen the fight against COVID19.

Likewise, the Cabinet member announced that both nations will begin a joint work to revalue traditional Peruvian medicine.

The objective is for the therapies used by communities and natural inputs to join the fight against COVID-19.
