A medical student I met last year in Chicago who was a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru put me in touch with one of the midwives she met while working in the Ancash region of Peru. Marisol, is a midwife who has been working in this region for almost ten years. I first have to say that the Caraz/Huaraz area is amazingly beautiful. The mountains just take your breath away. And we luckily arrived at the end of the rainy season so we were lucky enough to get great weather.
Marisol just recently got promoted to a management position within the ministry of health. Her job focuses on improving quality at all levels so it’s a pretty important job. But she spent much of her time prior to this working in health centers delivering care and she spent a couple days with me showing me the realities of healthcare in this region of Peru.

About my time in Peru: traveling, doing medical work, and anything else interesting.

Thanks! I’m pleasantly surprised, even though the weekly figures have been great too.
