The health care industry of Peru has witnessed a gradual growth and progress over the recent years. Public health becoming an important issue in every part of the world, is a major concern in Peru also. Keeping this in mind the
Peru hospitals have undergone a modernization process and today they are fully equipped with trained personnel and technicalities to handle a wide range of diseases as well as treat the injured or the wounded.
Peru hospitals are distributed all over the country as congestion will only prove inconvenient and and difficulty in accessibility.
Hospitals in Peru are divided according to their zonal location. There are national hospitals, regional hospitals and district level hospitals. The national hospitals like Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza, Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo etc. are all situated in Lima, the capital.
The regional
hospitals of Peru are found in different places in the country like Ayacucho, Chimbote, Arequipa, Chiclayo, Iquitos etc. some of the Regional hospitals are Hospital Regional de Ayacucho, Hospital regional Honorio Delgado Espinoza, Hospital Regional de Iquitos etc. Apart from these significant national and regional hospitals in Peru, there are many small Peru hospitals that serve the public.
Two major Peru hospitals are :
- Clínicas Maison de Santé
- Instituto de Salud del Nino, Lima
These major
Peruvian hospitals have the medical faculty and technical equipment to deal with serious diseases like Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Diabetes, cancer etc. But the smaller Peru hospitals can only take care of general health problems, common diseases and injuries. The modern set up and technical faculty along with the medical staff of the hospitals of Peru therefore reflect the growing concern of the health care system of Peru for the public health in Peru.
