Healthcare access expands through telehealth in Formosa and public hospital networks in Peru

In Formosa, Argentina, the Hospital Interdistrital Evita completed 177 specialized medical consultations via telehealth services between July 14 and October 27. This initiative, managed by the Ministry of Human Development, allows patients from various provincial locations to access eight different medical specialties without traveling long distances. The program aims to ensure continuity of care and medical follow-ups across the territory.

In Peru, the National Police Health Insurance Fund (SALUDPOL) has expanded coverage for police officers and their families by partnering with public health institutions. Insured individuals can now access consultations, surgical interventions, and specialized treatments at high-complexity public facilities, including the Hospital del Niño de San Borja and the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN). This reorganization, led by the Ministry of the Interior, also includes strengthened services at the Trujillo Regional Hospital, Hospital Guillermo Almenara, and Hospital María Auxiliadora.
