Peru's Health Minister Victor Zamora and Chinese Ambassador to Peru Liang Yu participated in the recognition ceremony for the mission of
Chinese experts —from Nanfang Hospital of Guangdong Province— who visited the South American country to assist in its fight against COVID-19.
The Cabinet member stated that material support came first, including personal protective equipment, ventilators, among others.
"They have stood side by side with health workers at 12 hospitals in Lima and Arequipa, overseeing how they work,
guiding them through the experience, and telling them how China managed to reduce COVID-19 cases," Zamora added.
During their visit, Chinese experts presented the strategies successfully applied by China in the fight against COVID-19 and explored the efforts made by the Andean nation.
