Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Rising dementia prevalence in low- and middle-income countries, exacerbated by low socioeconomic status and literacy.
  • Peru faces challenges with high illiteracy rates (41.6% in rural older adults), hindering dementia recognition and management.
  • The IMPACT Salud project aligns with the WHO Global Action Plan (GAP) for Dementia and Peruvian health priorities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct Peru's first health system assessment for dementia care capacity.
  • Evaluate the diagnosis, treatment, and support systems for people with dementia (PWD) and their carers.
  • Identify gaps and inform strategies for improving dementia care in Peru.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative health system assessment using stakeholder interviews and document review (July 2023 - August 2025).
  • Involved 12 stakeholder types across three health system levels in four Peruvian regions.
  • Utilized the High-Quality Health System Framework (foundations, process of care, quality impacts).

Main Results:

  • Limited political support, lack of standardized protocols, insufficient medications, and no training or financial aid for dementia care.
  • Overloaded referral systems cause delays in specialized consultations and imaging; care quality is judged by staff empathy.
  • Trust in the health system is linked to care quality and empathy; perceived improvements focus on symptom reduction and home care ease, not cognitive decline.

Conclusions:

  • The Peruvian health system is currently unprepared to deliver quality dementia care.
  • Implementing Peru's dementia law and WHO GAP recommendations is crucial for high-quality services.
  • Addressing regional disparities is essential for effective dementia care nationwide.
