“…As such, MINSA acknowledges the role that Health Human Resources (HHR) will play and aims to have health personnel adequately geographically distributed with the technical skills to provide quality care. 7 Positive gains are being made 5,8 on MINSA's HHR initiatives that seek to strengthen governance, strategic planning, data and information gathering, recruitment and retention actions, and policies to improve access and reduce maldistributions. 9 Additionally, there are suggestions to increase research on the health workforce to better understand its professionals' needs, aspirations and expectations.…”

“…3,12 One of MINSA's HHR initiatives was the establishment of the National Observatory for Human Resources for Health (INFORHUS) in 2011, which has since been identifying numbers, locations and placements within and outside of the public sector and producing tabulations of workforce numbers and sufficiency for adequacy comparisons. 7 In 2018 the total number of health workers in Peru was 202, 808, of these professional assistants composed 49% of the workforce, doctors 15.5%, nurses 17.7% and midwives 6.1%, with 61.1 % of the health workforce working in or around Peru's capital city, Lima. 5 In common with other countries, Peru's workforce data reveal that Peru has rural/urban and geographic professional mal-distributions.…”

Like many countries Peru is confronting uncertainties due to the COVID‐19 pandemic and its consequences. This is having impacts not only on health systems but also on the planning and preparation of its workforces. In this case article we summarise the progress Peru has been making to improve its workforce capacity and planning and review how Peru has coped with the stresses put on its health system arising from the pandemic. By recounting the responses that the Ministry of Health made through mobilising existing capabilities, additional workers and collaboration with health science faculties and health professional colleges, the article identifies that a longer‐term planning perspective based on skills that services require is something that Peru may consider to compliment the health workforce investments that are already being made. As such, this case provides an example for workforce planners and policy makers to contemplate when considering health workforce planning in post‐COVID uncertainty.

“…This creates shortages and inequalities in geographic distribution of health personnel in the country. There are additional structural and organizational deficiencies, such as lack of specialized laboratories, scarce intensive care units (ICU), and the scarcity of personal protection equipment (PPEs) [ 4 , 5 ]. Undoubtedly, under these adverse conditions, healthcare personnel have been the perfect target for this virus [ 6 ].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has subdued all health systems, wreaking havoc throughout the world. As of 6 September 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported more than 27 million cases of COVID-19 and nearly 900 thousand deaths for this disease. The American continent reached more than 14 million cases and the most affected countries are the United States, Brazil, and Peru [1]. In Peru, as 6 September 2020, official reports from the ministry of health include 683,702 positive cases by either immunologic or molecular tests, and mortality is estimated to be approximately 4.34% [2]. On 15 March 2020, the Peruvian government initiated a countrywide quarantine, thus becoming the first country in the American continent to enter in an emergency state [3]. The government closed its borders, initially for 15 days. At that time, Peru had 71 COVID-19 confirmed cases; cases and deaths then increased exponentially, and Peru extended the quarantine on 31 July 2020, and then focused quarantine in some provinces until 30 September 2020. Unfortunately, given the national socioeconomic context, Peru could not effectively handle the quarantine. Approximately 70% of the workforce in Peru is made up of informal workers who had no income during the extended quarantine. After a few weeks, the absence of these resources resulted in breaking of the quarantine and triggered a collapse of sanitary measures that we now live with. This pandemic has showed the real dimensions of the crisis in our health system. Nearly 50% of our healthcare workforce serve in Lima, the capital city of Peru. This creates shortages and inequalities in geographic distribution of health personnel in

“…Un componente imprescindible para una buena atención en salud son los recursos humanos para la atención de la salud (RHUS), tema que es tratado por la Dra. Fiorella Inga y col. (6) quienes plantean que existen avances en el campo del desarrollo y la gestión de los RHUS en los últimos años en Perú, que van desde la mejora en la distribución de los RHUS, el cumplimiento de metas regionales, el fortalecimiento de competencias y capacidades, hasta el establecimiento de una nueva política de RHUS. Sin embargo, la dotación de RHUS en el primer nivel de atención sigue siendo un desafío para nuestro sistema de salud y para mejorar la calidad de la atención a las poblaciones más necesitadas.…”
