The Peruvian government has arranged a wide-ranging agenda of activities to celebrate and commemorate the Bicentenary, taking the opportunity to imagine together the country that Peru wants to be.
Canning House is pleased to announce its donation of £1,000 in support of the Embassy of Peru, UCL and International Medical Education Trust’s fundraiser for Wayrachi respiratory device production in Peru.
The Wayrachi helps keep Covid-19 patients out of intensive care thus protecting many lives, by connecting them to the oxygen plants of hospitals, providing patients with a high-pressure pumping system that allows them to breathe more easily when oxygen via a face mask alone is insufficient.
