Peru’s Ministry of Health Opens Public Consultation on New Medical Device Regulations

The Peruvian Ministry of Health, MINSA, has issued Resolution No. 734-2024-MINSA, announcing the publication of draft regulations aimed at enhancing the registration, control, and health monitoring of medical devices. This initiative aligns with Peru’s national health policies and international commitments, particularly those connected to World Trade Organization standards.

The draft regulation is now available on the Ministry’s website for a 90-day public consultation period. During this time, citizens, public institutions, and private organizations are invited to review the draft and provide feedback via email until the 24th of January 2025. The Directorate of Medicines, Supplies, and Drugs (DIGEMID) will oversee the feedback collection and work on finalizing the regulations based on these contributions.

This public consultation marks an essential step toward enhancing the safety, quality, and accessibility of medical devices in Peru, reinforcing the Ministry’s commitment to public health and international standards.
