Resumen
BENDEZU-QUISPE, Guido et al. Surveillance, prevention, and control policies of COVID-19 in health sector workers in Peru. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, pp.425-435. Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 3020-1160.
Background:
Peru has been one of the countries with the highest burden of disease due to COVID-19. The Government of Peru has established basic guidelines for the preparation and registration of plans for the surveillance, prevention, and control of COVID-19 at work (PVPC) of Peruvian institutions.
Objective:
To characterize the PVPC of health sector institutions in Peru.
Materials and Methods:
retrospective descriptive secondary database study. The PVPCs of the health sector registered in the SISCOVID-Empresas platform of the Ministry of Health of Peru, mandatory registration for the reactivation of activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, were evaluated. Results: 1263 PVPC records from the health sector registered on the SISCOVID-Empresas platform were analyzed. Of the registered PVPCs, 5.8% of companies do not have a supervisor or committee for occupational safety and health, and 38.6% of companies with more than 20 workers do not have a health professional.
Conclusions:
A high non-compliance with what is required in the PVPCs in institutions of the Peruvian health sector was identified. It is necessary to reinforce and supervise the adequate fulfillment of the PVPC in these institutions.
