Background • 44.5% of the Peruvian population lives in poverty (CIA World Factbook,2009). • 60% of people in communities covered by the Census lack access to a healthcare facility (Amnesty International, 2009) • Expanded primary and preventive care services to impoverished and marginalized populations to improve health outcome measures are needed (Miranda, et.al, 2008; Guanais& Macinko, 2009). • Very few studies have been conducted that evaluate the access and utilization patterns of individuals living in peri-urban squatter communities of the large cities of Peru
