Public health programs are critical to protect people and strengthen systems via strong and innovative participants. The Internet is being used by many public health agencies, organizations, associations and individuals in Peru to help ensure that relevant information about health care is widely available and effectively used by both individuals and health professionals. These efforts often are creative and based on collaboration between government and the private sector.
This Web Scout provides examples of information distributed via Internet on several topics: background statistics and analysis of trends in Peru, information for travelers to Peru, links to masses of information about what to do when confronting an illness, portals to additional sources of information and descriptions of a few of the many public health projects by international organizations and nonprofit organizations. Links are provided to a variety of organizations, many with information in Spanish as well as English. If you go to the online version of the ACAP magazine you will find it easier to access the links that interest you.
