- Twenty-eight urban ambulances were delivered to local and regional governments during a ceremony attended by the Minister of Health, Juan Carlos Velasco Guerrero, and UNOPS Director of the Andean region, Nicholas Gardner.
- “We will continue to put our technical expertise, our commitment to transparency, and our implementation capacity at the service of Peru so that each public investment generates better people-centred results,” said Nicholas Gardner.
With funding from the government of Peru, UNOPS will procure 184 urban and rural ambulances to strengthen pre-hospital care services in 15 regions across the country.
“This purchase is much more than a logistical investment, it is a tangible commitment to the lives of thousands of Peruvians who trust in a health system that prioritizes the most vulnerable, closing the historical gaps, and ensuring access to essential services in the most remote areas,” said the Minister of Health, César Vásquez, during a signing ceremony.
The $29.9 million project will strengthen pre-hospital and emergency healthcare services, ensuring that patients with critical needs can access medical services in good time.
UNOPS will work closely with the Ministry of Health to ensure efficient and effective public spending while meeting the highest transparency standard.
