Nowadays there is an emerging interest on health system resilience capacity during emergencies as the one created by the COVID-19 Pandemic. This article contributes to this emerging field of studies by analysing the impact of the state´s policy responses COVID-19 (as lockdowns) on the Peruvian health system, specifically on the delivery of non-covid services, sexual and reproductive health services, and describe the strategies deployed by health workers to adapt to the COVID-19 crisis in Peru, a country that have been dramatically impacted by the pandemic. The article, based on the analysis of depth interviews with 11 health workers and one health supervisor working at sexual and reproductive health services at public health services Lima during 2020 and 2021, describe how pre-existing conditions of the health system (as poor infrastructure and deficit of human resources) magnified the negative effects of the measures taken to control de pandemic, undermining the "resilience" of the health system.
如今,人们对卫生系统在紧急情况下的恢复力能力越来越感兴趣,比如由新冠疫情造成的紧急情况。本文通过分析国家针对新冠疫情的政策应对措施(如封锁)对秘鲁卫生系统的影响,特别是对非新冠服务、性健康和生殖健康服务的影响,为这一新兴研究领域做出了贡献,并描述了秘鲁卫生工作者为适应新冠危机所采取的策略。秘鲁是一个受到疫情严重影响的国家。本文基于对2020年至2021年期间在利马公共卫生服务机构从事性健康和生殖健康服务工作的11名卫生工作者和一名卫生监督员的深度访谈分析,描述了卫生系统的既有状况(如基础设施差和人力资源短缺)如何放大了为控制疫情而采取的措施的负面影响,削弱了卫生系统的“恢复力”。
