The recent announcement that “El Niño” will hit Peru next year has not gone unnoticed by the authorities of Cajamarca region, who have budgeted S/. 12 million soles (almost US $4 million dollars) to be prepared for its impact.
From this budget, S/. 11 million have already been disbursed in the rehabilitation and improvement of health facilities in the region, as well in their provisions of medicines.
The remaining million soles will be used to address urgent issues which may arise when the bad weather actually hits the region, said Oswaldo Cabanillas Angulo, an epidemiologist at the Regional Health Directorate.
The provinces of San Ignacio, Cutervo, Jaen, Santa Cruz and Contumaza would be hardest hit, said Cabanillas.
