Peru will have high-speed internet that will allow citizens to connect more easily to the various digital services and platforms focused on improving their daily life and the areas such as education and health.
The small provinces and communities of Peru will be able to have greater access to telemedicine thanks to the high-speed internet that will be implemented through the Project Integral Connectivity and Social Development implemented by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) of the Government of Peru.
It seeks to supply a network to more than 196 thousand people from 480 rural towns and 20 provinces of Ancash so that they can have more means to facilitate the use of telehealth and teleeducation and, with this, have greater individual security.
Investment figures for the Peruvian territory will exceed $121 million with 817 public entities that will take advantage of this service. It is hoped that citizens will be able to enjoy greater access to the benefits of high-speed internet, such as telehealth.
2,897 computers will be delivered to state institutions (health centers, hospitals, schools and police stations) and 108 Digital Access Centers will be installed to boost population development.
In the Ayacucho region, 731 public institutions (478 educational institutions, 232 health centers and 21 police stations) will benefit from the broadband internet project. But it will not only be in this region, it is sought to continue reaching more entities and as the next step will be Cusco.
One of the main points that will be strengthened will be the use of telehealth for populations that do not have the ease of access to specialized centers and reduce the digital divide, bringing telecommunications services to rural areas of the country and improving people's quality of life.
With the opening of the high-speed network, people will be able to connect with specialists (surgeons, cardiologists, ophthalmologists, etc.) located in other regions without the need to spend on transportation, as well as generate digital skills that can help in their daily activities and generate development opportunities.
