Peru’s Social Health Insurance (EsSalud) has integrated Complementary Medicine (CM) into public healthcare for over 25 years. EsSalud has been recognized as a PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center since 2019. The organizational structure includes a central management office that oversees regulation and development, and an operational level that provides services across the three levels of care: CM Units (UMEC), CM Care Centers (CAMEC), and Palliative Care Units with CM (UCPMEC). Natural Pharmacies supply phytotherapeutic products following high pharmaceutical standards. Over 1 million patients have benefited, with popular treatments like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mind-body therapies. Community outreach and health education are key components.
