As a result of this epidemic we have mental health problems. This is why the health policy is to have a psychologist for every school nationwide. This way we cover the mental health of our children and teens. In addition, in order to work in the field of sexual and reproductive health, I have proposed an obstetrician to each school, to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy,” the minister said, addressing the medical staff.

During the working visit, the President of Minsa toured the fields of gynecology, dentistry, psychology, medicine, pharmacy, among others, accompanied by Director of Diresa de Madre de Dios, Ricardo Tello, and Head of the Health Center Jorge Chavez.
