Celebrating the fifth edition of the free medical campaign in the region specializing in Huancavelica, in charge of volunteer doctors and PAMS (Peruvian American Medical Society) under the auspices of Buenaventura, I am pleased to report that this has been the most successful year in its main aspects:

• Leadership and support they require, by the Regional Government ofHuancavelica, from the first coordination meeting held in April, and their principal officers of the Directorate General of Health, Hospital and Departmental Essalud.

• Recognition of the region for humanitarian work by volunteer doctors andBuenaventura PAMS for sponsoring the medical campaign that benefits ourcountry's neediest brothers, which was expressed by Carlos Valdivia, presidential advisor regional, at the dinner of welcome offered to the executing unit.

• Emotional words of thanks by Dr. Hippocrates Rojas, Director of DIRESA during the onset of the medical campaign, as well as the speeches of the SocialDevelopment Manager and Director of Hospital Department of Huancavelica.

• Increased collaboration and partnership with PAMS medical delegation, on behalf of the Departmental Hospital medical team (HDH) and Essalud, complementing the specialty care not offered by volunteer doctors.
