Abstract
SEGOVIA, Gualberto et al. Health management in care for the Indigenous and Afro- Peruvian population in the COVID-19 pandemic. Acta méd. Peru [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.3, pp.263-270. Epub Sep 19, 2022. ISSN 1728-5917. http://dx.doi.org/10.35663/amp.2022.393.2409.
Objective
: To determine the barriers in the management of health facilities that serve the indigenous and Afro-descendant population in Peru.
Material and methods
: A virtual survey on health management was designed for first level health care personnel in 89 health facilities (EESS) in 27 provinces during October and November 2021.
Results
: In 73% of the EESS, the personnel reported not knowing the plan against the third pandemic wave, 14.8% of the EESS reported not being trained in the management of COVID-19, in 22.7% of the EESS they met to coordinate how to face the third pandemic wave, in 83% of the EESS the personnel reported not having a budget for their plan against COVID-19.
Conclusions
: There are barriers in the vision, management and budget in EESS that serve indigenous and Afro-Peruvian populations, which would affect the effective execution of strategies for the control of the pandemic by COVID-19.
