  • The Ministry of Health (Minsa) in Peru has launched a new digital platform allowing patients to manage appointments via their mobile phones.
  • Users can access the portal through a link or QR code, using their national ID or foreign resident card.
  • This initiative aims to optimize patient time by enabling them to check medical information without physically visiting the hospital.

The Peruvian Ministry of Health (Minsa) has introduced a new digital service that allows patients to consult and manage their medical appointments directly from their mobile phones, eliminating the need for early morning queues. This innovation aims to streamline healthcare access for citizens.

To utilize the service, patients can access the platform via a provided link or by scanning a QR code. The system requires users to present their national identity document (DNI) or their foreigner's identity card (Carné de Extranjería) for verification. This digital approach simplifies the process of accessing personal medical information.

The portal facilitates the review of medical data without the necessity of an in-person visit to the hospital. By enabling remote access to health records and appointment management, Minsa seeks to optimize the patient's time and improve the overall efficiency of healthcare services. This move reflects a broader trend towards digitalization in public services within Peru.
