Peru's government has declared a health emergency in 20 of the 25 regions due to a sharp rise in dengue fever cases, with more than 31,000 cases and 32 deaths reported.
This announcement will facilitate the speedy transfer of funds and the easing of medical personnel such as doctors and nurses to the affected areas.
