    ¿Promesa incumplida?: Prevalencia y factores determinantes de la anemia infantil durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-09-06) Salazar Zapata, Pamela
    Anemia is a global public health issue exacerbated by economic, social, and cultural inequalities. This disorder increases childhood morbidity and mortality, adversely affecting short- and long-term health and quality of life. This study aims to identify determinants of anemia among children aged 6 to 59 months in Peru, segmented across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. Logistic and normal models are employed using data from the National Demographic Health Survey (ENDES) 2018-2023. Findings indicate that maternal anemia, fever, and diarrhea increase the likelihood of childhood anemia prevalence during all three study periods.

    Aprendizaje de políticas y COVID-19: La experiencia de vacunación en países latinoamericanos
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-09-06) Paz-Gómez, Diana Marcela
    This article analyses policy learning processes in decision-making during the process of vaccination against COVID-19, defined in two phases: vaccine procurement and vaccination campaigns, in Latin American countries. On the one hand, it is argued that some of the strategies implemented are explained through policy diffusion mechanisms. Among these, we can consider the definition of priority population groups or the implementation of doses through COVAX. Other measures derive from the operational capacities previously created by governments, such as the deployment of mobile, cross-border or awareness-raising vaccination and health campaigns to address previous infections in the region. Methodologically, a descriptive review of the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain is proposed based on institutional information. In addition, reflections are made on the need for governments to acquire knowledge from their own or others’ experiences to strengthen the health system in the region.
