I’m a current medical student who recently returned from Peru where I helped screen women for cervical cancer and distribute HPV vaccines. During the trip, there were many healthcare strikes that left hospitals closed or understaffed, which led to patients not showing up for some of our campaigns. This may have led to women who required screening to be missed. So two questions:
Would something like the Patient Revolution be applicable to countries like Peru?
Also, while over there, the food was incredible so what Peruvian dish do you miss/enjoy the most?
