on Monday affirmed that the priority of the current Government is the sustained recovery of the economy and investments, as well as the provision of better services like education, water and sanitation, order and security, among others.
"In this last period, we have given priority to a sustained recovery of our economy and investments. Besides, we have addressed key sectors such as health, education, water and sanitation, prevention against El Niño Phenomenon, and the promotion of order and citizen security, among other non-minor issues that citizens demand," she stated.
Regarding health, the President indicated that constant efforts are being made to unblock stalled projects and that eight health establishments have been inaugurated so far, including large hospitals, such as the Cañete Regional Hospital, as well as those of Atalaya in Ucayali, Chulucanas in Piura, Alto Inclan in Arequipa, and Pichari in Cusco.
"The total investment for these projects amounts to over S/641 million (around US$46.5 million), for the benefit of millions of Peruvians who now have the possibility of receiving medical care in a modern infrastructure and through state-of-the-art equipment," she stressed.
Furthermore, the dignitary reported that the number of health interventions has increased and that more than 1.1 million children —aged two months to five years— have been vaccinated against polio and measles.
"Health is a right. Today, under this Government, we return that right, which was lost after years of oblivion and neglect," she emphasized.
Remarks were made at a press conference in which she presented the fourth assessment of the progress made by her government.
