Introduction

The universal health insurance policy in Peru seeks to guarantee the full and progressive right of every person to social security in health and regulates access and the functions of regulation, financing, benefits and supervision of insurance. This law establishes that the Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS) is financed for all insured persons by the Health Insurance Fund Administrator Institutions (IAFAS).
