As explained by his mother, the little boy suffers from four heart abnormalities. Of them, the one with the highest risk is the artery that goes to the lungs, which is clogged and needs surgery.

There, the top official will participate in the inauguration ceremony for the comprehensive electrification in the provinces of Chota, Cutervo, Hualgayoc, and Santa Cruz.
