Medical support barge

In co-operation with the Regional Government of Loreto and the Peruvian Navy, Perenco Peru has launched the Pastaza Hospital Barge.

The inauguration ceremony took place in Iquitos on 18th November. The French Ambassador for Peru, Cecile Pozzo di Borgo, the barge's godmother, and the President of the Regional Government of Loreto, Yvan Vasquez Valera, the barge's godfather, both attended the official launch event.

The barge, the first of its kind in the region, will offer much needed medical services to more than 16,000 people from 86 communities along the Napo, Curaray and Arabela rivers.  It will deliver a comprehensive health project in the area. The barge has been fully refurbished and equipped with medical equipment by Perenco. It provides the communities along the three rivers with medical and dental services and has a fully equipped medical laboratory.

The Pastaza Hospital Barge will be staffed with 17 medical personnel who plan to visit each of the 86 communities at least every 40 days.
