Something big is happening in Peru’s healthcare sector, but not enough people are paying attention. While some still debate the gap in access to medical services, telemedicine is already transforming the reality of millions. And the numbers are staggering!
3.4 MILLION REMOTE CONSULTATIONS
between January 2024 and March 2025 prove that digital healthcare is not a luxury—it’s an urgent necessity. The Ministry of Health (Minsa), through its Executive Directorate of Telemedicine, is breaking down geographical and time barriers, bringing specialists to even the most remote corners of the country.
PATIENTS NO LONGER NEED TO TRAVEL HOURS OR DAYS FOR A CONSULTATION
Telemedicine has become the "bridge" connecting doctors with patients, regardless of distance. In a country where thousands had to travel long hours to see a specialist, now all they need is a device and an internet connection. The change is revolutionary!
🔍 Here’s what the numbers reveal:
- Lima Centro leads with 434,967 consultations.
- Ayacucho and Lima Este each recorded over 154,000 consultations.
- La Libertad benefited 124,957 citizens.
- Huancavelica, one of the most vulnerable regions, received 119,811 consultations.
Junín, Ucayali and Amazonas have also embraced this innovation.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!
Telemedicine is no longer the future. It’s the present. While some still question its effectiveness, the numbers speak for themselves. But the key question is: Is your organization ready for this revolution?
This model's growth is unstoppable. Don’t get left behind! If you manage a clinic, hospital, or healthcare business, now is the time to embrace digitalization or risk falling behind in the new era of medical care.
