The Peruvian Social Health Insurance Institution (EsSalud) sent two and a half tons of medicines and medical supplies to disaster-stricken Piura region.
As is known, the northern region was lashed by the overflowing of Piura River last Monday.
Said aid cargo was aimed at strengthening medical care services in favor of citizens recently affected by the onslaught of nature.
Likewise, donations will be distributed to all EsSalud facilities.
On the other hand, a doctors contingent belonging to "Hospital Peru" —an EsSalud's mobile hospital— continues providing medical assistance at field hospitals set up across the region.
This initiative intends to benefit the neediest population of Piura.
It must be noted 8,034 people were treated in the period comprised between March 2-26.
