The Seguro Integral de Salud emphasizes that indigenous women are covered 100% for all medical care, medicines, supplies, medical procedures and even emergency transfers, recognizing the great work of this population group and their contribution to society.
The Seguro Integral de Salud (SIS), which was created more than 21 years ago in Peru, provides financial protection for access to health services for indigenous and native women in that country, for which the necessary economic resources are transferred to public health facilities nationwide to cover, free of charge and comprehensively, their health care, medicines, supplies, medical procedures, hospitalization and emergency transfers, including air, river and land transfers.
The SIS covers more than 12,000 diagnoses and includes care ranging from simple illnesses, such as a cold, flu, etc., the whole process of pregnancy, childbirth or cesarean section and puerperium (in the case of women), metaxenic diseases, such as dengue, and high-cost diseases, such as cancer, chronic kidney disease, among others.
