What is health and health insurance like in Peru?
If I, as an American citizen, were to decide to live there, in Peru. How would I get health insurance and how adequate, or not, is it out there as far as hospitals and medicine goes? How do I get covered for health insurance in Peru? Do I need a "work visa" or something else? How do I get one, if I do need one?

Right now there is an dengue fever (I got this illness few weeks ago, as well as most of my friends). There is one variant, hemorrhagic dengue which is life threatening and there have been several deaths this year. The medicine in the provinces is at very low level, so anyone who has enough resources, when seriously ill goes to Lima ASAP. There are the state hospitals, from IPSS and others from the Ministry of Health. Everyone that works formally, gets insured for which some amount is deducted from the salary. Additionally, some better companies may include insurance in private clinics for their workers or you can get the insurance directly. I think one can get insured with the IPSS too. Keep in mind that the clinics may have much less experience than state hospitals as they see more cases.

I want to work with children overseas, and develop solutions/ aid those in need. What should I major/minor in?
I am currently in a community college, working on an associates in psychology. After a trip to Peru where I was able to work with children of a poverty stricken village, I realized my calling involved children and helping others. However, I am now unable to find what I should major in when I transfer schools. Do I go with philanthropy?

I am a teacher in international schools. While I tend to teach diplomat's children and fairly wealthy children, you will find that "third culture kids" (ie: kids who grow up living all over the world) are good little global citizens who love to help out the local cultures through things like Habitat for Humanity, volunteering in local orphanages, etc. There are many ways to get involved with the local communities while teaching internationally. So that is one way to go about it. Another poster mentioned medical, and that is also a viable option, although you will have massive medical school debt at the end and probably won't be able to live abroad as you have to work to pay off debt. But you could volunteer your vacation time. And of course the Peace Corps is also an option--they look for a variety of degrees including engineering, urban planning, etc. And NGO's (Oxfam, etc) also send people to help out in other countries. http://www.ngo.org/links/index.htm Lots of ways to get there...if you want it badly enough you can make it happen...I did.

Are you talking about being a pharmacist or a tech? Either way I assume you'd have to get certified here. I think you would have to take a test to be certified in the state you work in.
