This research seeks to identify the effect that fiscal decentralization has had on the provision of primary health care in two dimensions: The coverage and quality of primary health care. The study is carried out for the Cusco region during the 2009-2019 period. Information from two main sources is used: Friendly Consultation of the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the National Household Survey of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics. Likewise, the analysis is performed using a linear regression model. The main findings find that fiscal decentralization has had a limited effect in improving the provision of primary health care. In particular, a statistically significant effect of public spending on primary health care coverage in the Cusco region during the 2009-2019 period has not been found, mostly due to the fact that the quality of public spending is mostly concentrated in a few districts. On the other hand, a statistically significant but very small effect of public spending on the quality of primary health care has been found in the Cusco region. A significant coefficient has only been found for the period 2009-2012 but not for subsequent years or for the year 2019 in particular. This suggests that public spending is not adequately transmitted to quality care in primary health care centers.
