Peru health ministry idle S/1.5M in biomedical equipment; Contraloría flags delivery delays

Peru's Comptroller General found that S/1.5 million in biomedical equipment purchased by the Ministry of Health (Minsa) has not been delivered or used at three Lima hospitals (San Juan de Lurigancho, Arzobispo Loayza, San Juan Bautista), leaving patients without access. The delay indicates a procurement and logistics failure, with no clear timeline for deployment. This is a routine oversight finding, but it highlights systemic inefficiencies in public health infrastructure.
