Evaluation of the Routine Health Information System in Peru
The routine health information system is responsible for generating data of vital importance to the decision-making processes for the administration of services, and thus to the public health of the country. Evaluations are a useful way to ensure the ongoing quality and effectiveness of an existing health system. However, shortcomings in previous evaluations of the routine health information system in Peru have been identified.

Evaluation of the Regional Health Information System in Peru
The diagnosis of the situation in the countries of the Americas ranked Peru as second-to-last among the 26 countries of the region and placed it in the fourth group characterized by a low coverage level. With regard to vital statistics, coverage and quality is almost non-existent; system operators have little training and less access to standards tools and information producers have a negative perception of the information system. In fact, there are no inter-institutional committees or strengthening programs.
