Defense Minister Jorge Chavez announced that 50 Tayta mega-operations will be carried out in various regions across the country by the end of the year, thereby providing some 500,000 people with primary care in the COVID-19 response.
The minister disclosed that said operations —carried out in cooperation with health authorities— will be redoubled and intensified at the national level.
"We are planning to carry out 50 Tayta mega-operations until the end of the year in order to benefit 100,000 families (around 500,000 people)," he added.
These interventions are coordinated with regional and local governments so as to reach the areas where target populations live and provide them with primary care services.
Remarks were made as he inaugurated the new Molecular Biology Laboratory at the Naval Hospital, joined by Health Minister Pilar Mazzetti.
