Cuso International is a Canadian charity working with local partners around the world to advance gender equality and social inclusion, improve economic resilience, and deliver progress on climate action. Our work in Peru includes education around gender-based violence and femicide prevention. In Lima, working with our partner CENCA (El Instituto de Desarollo Urbano) our Mujeres Unidas por la Seguridad Alimentaria y Ambiental (MUSA) Common Pot project has helped establish more than 2,500 community kitchens, feeding nearly 250,000 families.
For four days, 25 intensive care physicians from all over Peru participated in the course for professionals in emergency services and intensive care, dictated by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada - International.
The Public Health Agency of Canada developed virtual training for professionals from the Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Health, the National School of Public Health, hospitals in Lima and Arequipa, and EsSalud-Piura.
Peru has been selected —thanks to its biological diversity and along with other four countries— to join the "Mapping Nature for People and Planet" Project, which will use geospatial data to identify essential life support areas (ELSAs), the Ministry of Environment (Minam) has reported.
Canada is committed to assisting Peru to ensure the timely provision of health services in the midst of this health emergency due to the new coronavirus", said Mr. Ralph Jansen
