The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has subdued all health systems, wreaking havoc throughout the world. As of 6 September 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported more than 27 million cases of COVID-19 and nearly 900 thousand deaths for this disease. The American continent reached more than 14 million cases and the most affected countries are the United States, Brazil, and Peru [1]. In Peru, as 6 September 2020, official reports from the ministry of health include 683,702 positive cases by either immunologic or molecular tests, and mortality is estimated to be approximately 4.34% [2]. On 15 March 2020, the Peruvian government initiated a countrywide quarantine, thus becoming the first country in the American continent to enter in an emergency state [3]. The government closed its borders, initially for 15 days. At that time, Peru had 71 COVID-19 confirmed cases; cases and deaths then increased exponentially, and Peru extended the quarantine on 31 July 2020, and then focused quarantine in some provinces until 30 September 2020. Unfortunately, given the national socioeconomic context, Peru could not effectively handle the quarantine. Approximately 70% of the workforce in Peru is made up of informal workers who had no income during the extended quarantine. After a few weeks, the absence of these resources resulted in breaking of the quarantine and triggered a collapse of sanitary measures that we now live with. This pandemic has showed the real dimensions of the crisis in our health system. Nearly 50% of our healthcare workforce serve in Lima, the capital city of Peru. This creates shortages and inequalities in geographic distribution of health personnel in
