In Juliaca, two separate incidents involving child welfare and medical care have emerged. 

Municipal workers discovered a 25-year-old woman, appearing intoxicated, sleeping on the street near the San Isidro Stadium with her six-month-old infant. Local security personnel intervened to warm the child and transferred the baby to the care of the mother’s sister.

Concurrently, a family is protesting outside the Nacer private clinic, alleging medical negligence following the September 6 birth of a newborn. The family claims the infant suffered respiratory complications after aspirating amniotic fluid and blood. They further alleged that a power outage occurred during the infant’s first night, during which staff requested an extension cord to maintain incubator function. The infant is currently receiving intensive care in Arequipa, with reported medical costs exceeding S/ 80,000.
