The Preventorium aimed to connect asymptomatic people to the public health system by providing health education, screening tests, and diagnosing chronic diseases and risk factors. Over 2,272 people participated, with screening revealing 18 cancer cases and 74 cases of benign diseases. Participation increased through communications campaigns. The Preventorium is part of Peru's national cancer control plan and has been accepted to be included in local health plans.
