In the context of the Holy Week holiday and in order to attend in a timely and appropriate manner to the insured who could be affected by an emergency situation, the Social Health Insurance (EsSalud) has ordered to declare a state of alert in its health institutions across the country.

Through a statement, the entity clarified that the purpose of the action is to clarify preparation and response procedures for EsSalud’s 30 service and assistance networks across the country. It is a total of 409 health institutions.

To do this, the Health workers will be aware of any unexpected event, particularly in the emergency services, intensive care unit, burn unit, delivery room, surgical center, among other critical areas.

It should be noted that each EsSalud network has contingency plans that include care workers, medicines, and other necessary components of healthcare.

Similarly, the Central Operations Department will carry out constant monitoring of health institutions and will report on emergencies, disasters or imminently dangerous events affecting the life and health of the population and the physical infrastructure of the aid centers.
