Peru’s life expectancy increased from 65 years in 1990 to 76 years by 2019, reflecting successful health reforms, poverty reduction, and improved access to clean water and sanitation. Key gains during the 1990s and 2000s are attributed to reductions in infant mortality and expanded vaccination programs. The slight decline to 72 years in 2021 highlights the strain on healthcare systems during crises, but a recovery to 73 years in 2022 demonstrates resilience.
