Health Forum
The Health Forum (Span. ForoSalud) is a space for coordination among numerous stakeholders from civil society (NGOs, professional associations, academic, popular and grassroots organizations, etc.) with regards to the area of health from a rights approach and with a view to providing health services within a framework of attention to social justice, equity and equality. It functions as a permanent assembly, with representation by permanent members but also open to the participation of citizens, from which policies, positions and priorities in health care are discussed and different programs and projects are formulated, some of them in cooperation with the State or with influence on public policies. It exists at the national and regional level in almost all regions of Peru.
