Welcome to ISDEN
ISDEN (Instituto de Salud MSC “Cristofris Deneke”) is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1998 in Lima, Perú, to promote the humanization of health care, to raise citizen awareness, and to strengthen health advocacy. We work to reach the most vulnerable sectors of our society, such as tuberculosis patients, to ensure that their human rights and dignity are respected. We are affiliated with the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and work in the field of health in Peru to continue the work these missionaries started in 1938. Today, we face new challenges and seek to solve modern social issues by exploring their causes, by developing activities that develop the ethical and moral values of those involved in the health world, and by supporting the least advantaged with their health care. We are always working to fulfill our slogan, "Serving Life."
