14:34 | Cusco (Cusco region), Jan. 9.
Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra on Thursday announced that 2020 will be called the "Year of
Health Care Universalization" in order to prove this is one of the sectors that are being granted the greatest boost by the Government.
"This year, we are focused on a concept that we have already defined through an urgency decree, which has the force of a law," he expressed.
"At a Council of Ministers (session), we have defined the denomination the public administration will carry for all purposes during the year 2020, which will be called the year of
health care universalization in Peru; that is the effort all of us will make," he highlighted.
The top official said the boost to the health sector was not only shown in the
Machu Picchu area, but recalled that —through a supreme decree— the management for the completion of Cusco's Antonio Lorena Hospital was declared of national interest.
In this sense, the statesman noted health care universalization will be a common task and effort, in which municipalities, as well as the national and regional governments will participate.
