Salud con lupa is a native digital media outlet dedicated to public health in Peru, with a reach across Latin America, and belongs to the Asociación de Periodismo con Lupa.
Our mission is to empower people with the necessary and rigorous information to understand health as a common good. Therefore, our journalistic approach goes beyond viewing health merely as the absence of disease and adheres to the One Health concept, which sees the health of people, animals, and the environment as interconnected components of a whole that must be balanced and viewed integrally.
Through investigative journalism in various formats, we aim to reduce misinformation about health, expose state failures, and address threats to health and abuses of power by industries such as tobacco, ultra-processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and fossil fuel and mining companies. With this, we strive to protect health as a fundamental human right.
At Salud con lupa, we seek for our news to enhance the quality of public debate and the decision-making process of authorities. But, above all, we aspire for health to become part of citizens’ daily conversations. Health should be a continuous topic of discussion: if we only think about health when we are ill or in crisis, it is too late.
