The OECD Council decided to open accession discussions with Peru on 25 January 2022. On 10 June 2022, the Council adopted the Roadmap for the accession of Peru to the OECD Convention [C/MIN(2022)24/FINAL] (the Roadmap) setting out the terms, conditions and process for accession to the OECD. The Roadmap provides that in order to allow the Council to take an informed decision on the accession of Peru, Peru will undergo in-depth reviews by the OECD technical committees listed in the Roadmap, including the Health Committee.
This report was prepared to support the accession review discussion of the Health Committee with Peru on 10 June 2024, during its 35th session. In accordance with paragraph 28 of the Roadmap, the Health Committee agreed to declassify this report on 3 February 2025 and publish it under the authority of the Secretary-General, in order to allow a wider audience to become acquainted with its content. Publication of this document and the analysis and recommendations contained therein do not prejudge in any way the outcome of evaluations conducted as part of Peru’s accession process to the OECD.
This report has benefited from the expertise and material received from many health officials, health professionals, civil society and other health experts that the OECD review team interviewed during a fact-finding mission on 18‑21 March 2024, and bilateral teleconferences. The report also reflects information provided in February 2024 to the Accession Survey on Health Data Capacity, the Accession Review Policy Questionnaire, as well as the regular OECD Health Data Questionnaires received in April 2024.
