Expanding Our Impact
Despite substantial economic growth in the last 10 years, high poverty levels and the rise of the Zika virus have left a large portion of the Peruvian population facing serious health risks. Abt-led initiatives in Peru implement and monitor vector control activities to help prevent the spread of Zika, improving the overall quality of life for Peru’s at-risk population. Abt supports the improvement of health management systems by fostering alliances between civil society and the government.
