📋 Tender Overview
The naval units set sail from Iquitos and will visit more than 100 service points.The Ministry of Defense, through the Peruvian Navy, provides fundamental support in the deployment and operation of the Itinerant Social Action Platforms (PIAS), which restarted their campaigns in Loreto with the aim of bringing State services closer to the most remote communities in the country.
From the Manuel Clavero Naval Base, in Iquitos, the PIAS Napo, Morona, Putumayo I, Putumayo II and the BAP Yahuas vessels set sail to provide medical, social and financial care to thousands of residents settled along the Amazon rivers.
During 33 days of navigation, the State platforms will visit more than 100 service points, providing essential services to nearly 17 thousand people belonging to more than 600 native and difficult-to-access communities. This inter-institutional effort reaffirms the commitment of the Defense sector to inclusive development and territorial integration, guaranteeing that the presence of the State reaches even the most remote areas of the national territory.
The PIAS represent a strategic alliance between the Defense sector, the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (MIDIS) and various public entities to strengthen the coverage of services in health, identity, social protection and education. On board these platforms, professionals offer medical, dental, obstetric and laboratory care, in addition to procedures such as the delivery and updating of the National Identity Document (DNI) or affiliation to the Comprehensive Health System (SIS).
Likewise, financial services and the payment of social subsidies are provided, with the support of native language interpreters that guarantee effective communication with the communities.
The logistical deployment of the Defense sector has been key to exceeding the national care goals planned for 2025. Until September alone, the river, air and lake PIAS in Loreto, Ucayali and Puno registered more than 124 thousand users served and 1 million 773 thousand services provided, figures that demonstrate the efficiency of this social intervention strategy supported by the Army, Navy and Air Force of Peru.
In this way, the Ministry of Defense reaffirms its commitment to inclusion, equity and the active presence of the State in all corners of the country for the benefit of all Peruvians.
