Executive Summary

The Peruvian health system is evolving. At the heart of this change is an ongoing commitment to reach universal health coverage (UHC). This translates into better access and financial protection, and contributes to better health outcomes. Yet, Peru faces challenges: the population continues to experience high rates of infectious diseases – alongside an increasing prevalence of non-communicable disease. The Peruvian health system, meanwhile, struggles with fragmentation and a lack of resources, which need to be tackled to create a modern and efficient system able to provide quality health services to the whole population.
