Peru: Social Development Inclusion Min praises aerial PIAS specialists' efforts in Amazon

15:53 | Iquitos (Loreto region), Jul. 30.

The Development and Social Inclusion Ministry (Midis) on Thursday recognized the work carried out by specialists, who bring health services closer to citizens and facilitate the delivery of government grants to the most remote and dispersed indigenous communities in Loreto region through the aerial Itinerant Social Action Platforms (PIAS), in order to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

At Air Force Base No. 42 in the rainforest city of Iquitos, the sector's head Patricia Donayre met with teams from the Ministries of Development-Social Inclusion, Culture and Health, as well as officials from the regional government and the State-run Banco de la Nation (Bank of the Nation).

There, she highlighted their efforts and coordinated the next assistance campaign after these exceeded 39,000 medical services and served to hand over financial subsidies or grants, as well as to conduct tests aimed at detecting COVID-19 cases in 26 communities between June and July.


"You are our first line of action against the pandemic in the Amazonia. Therefore, I pay tribute to you for your willingness to serve, your support in remote areas. I also highlight the work of the FAP (Peruvian Air Force), which enables us to reach out to places that many do not, and which served to transfer infected people and doctors, many of whom were saved, others not," she expressed.

"These times have brought us a lot of pain, but also plenty of hope because among us are Peruvians like you, who fight and never surrender. The President of the Republic (Martin Vizcarra) and I recognize your efforts," Donayre noted.

Puerto Lupita, Angusilla, Nueva Esperanza, Santa Mercedes, Huanta, Bellavista de Callaru, Santa Teresa Zone 1, Puerto Limonero, San Pedro, Colonia Angamos, Puerto Alegria, Caballito, Shinguito, Remanso, Huapapa, Cabo Pantoja and 12 de Octubre are some of the Loreto communities visited by these teams.
