The public health situation in Peru. The present cholera epidemic

Authors

Abstract

That present cholera epidemic that has now spread to neighbouring countries and which shows every sign of becoming endemic is here held to be a subject of interest to people other than such as might be inmediatly and professionally tasked with dealing with such phenomena. A close analysis of its immediate and direct causes, along with the general conditioning factors behind these, leads us inevitably to the conclusion that other causally similar infections and contagions could be in the offing and that endemically. It is thus felt they must be met by a previously prepared world. The paper feels that one thing at least, and this a transcendent and important one, has been gleaned from the present disaster and that is that the actual public health set up in Ibero-america has been shown to be wearing out, at least as far as Peru is concerned.
