Woodrow Wilson Center Workshops on the Politics of Education and Health Reforms

April, 2002

Health sector reforms in Peru, despite nearly a decade of reform efforts, are best described as piecemeal. The reform project itself lacked a comprehensive vision, and the resulting policies often either conflicted with each other, or with the stated overall goals of health sector reform: “a reform with equity, efficiency and quality”. Major health indicators, moreover, show improvement in health status, but these improvements are not substantially different from improvements in non-reform, and even crisis periods of the health sector.
