The general coordination of Infosalud, Ericka Rodríguez Valdez, informed to elcomercio.com.pe that the Department of Health activated the telephone free line 0-800-10828 and a list of injured persons who have been moved to Lima so that the persons could know the state of his relatives lost after the earthquake of 7,9 grades on the Richter scale, which flogged on Wednesday night, principally, the localities of Pisco and Chincha, in Ica.
If the interested person in obtaining this information can call (If is located outside of Peru) (511) 315-6600, extension 2788, added Rodríguez, on having told that Infosalud is centralizing the lists of injured persons who send constantly the diverse hospitals of the national network, especially those of the department of Ica, with the help of the Office of National Defense of the Department of Health.
In the Toll Free, (attending 24 hours), also orientation is offered in integral health, donation of blood, food, pledges and other products that the harmed ones by the earthquake need. Also, a group of psychologists offers emotional support across this telephone number to the relatives of the deceased and affected with the earthquake.
