Sumario:Introduction: Worldwide, only 14% of persons requiring palliative care actually receive it. In the year of 2015, diverse nursing professionals created the Palliative Care Nursing International Network (RienCupa in Spanish) within the framework of the Nursing International Networks (RIEs in Spanish). Objective: To identify the current state of the Palliative Care Nursing International Network-Peru in terms of its strengths and weaknesses, and then offer related recommendations.  Development: Peru was the first country to join the network activities through the Palliative Care Nursing International Network-Peru. The network’s tasks were structured in 5 stages: (a) Preparation for liftoff; (b) Identification and implementation of resources; (c) Deployment and execution of the project; (d) Recognition of the results; and (e) Projection of futureactivities. The network is constituted by 80 members and has a presence in 6 provinces and 12 institutions in the country. The network’s main strength is the development of personal and institutional teams in the national and international levels. A weakness of the network is the limitation of its financing system which consequently limits its field of action. A recommendation is the focus on the strengthening of its staff competencies regarding palliative care, management, leadership, and public policy knowledge and skills. Conclusions: The Palliative Care Nursing International Network-Peru has an important impact which is evidenced by its constitution and process of work, which have allowed the development of strategies that promote a supportive participation of better healthcare teams.
