Peru Ministry of Health reports digital and clinical progress

During the first 100 days of his administration, Peru's Minister of Health, Luis Dyer Fernández, has implemented several digital and clinical initiatives. Key achievements include the interconnection of 743,000 electronic medical records across hospitals in Lima and the addition of 300 primary care facilities to the National Telehealth Network, benefiting over 5.7 million users.

To combat anemia in children and pregnant women, the Ministry has established a comprehensive clinical pathway. This initiative moves beyond simple diagnosis to ensure continuous care, including screening, supplementation, and follow-up. The Ministry has allocated 3 million soles toward preventive actions in Lima and four other regions.

Additionally, the Ministry has responded to the El Niño phenomenon by deploying over 5,000 brigadiers and establishing 30 advanced medical posts to provide national coverage.
