On the other hand, the Charity Society of Lima, in charge of directing and ensure the care of hospitals, saying they were able to organize and manage hospital aid, for which they even brought The Sisters of Charity, from Chile to be in charge of the pharmacies of hospitals in Lima . Facing this dichotomy, doctors and the Charity Society expressed their opinions, in printed media (newspapers, magazines and annual reports).
