Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Peru telehealth required MINSA (Ministry of Health) telemedicine protocol registration per physician. SUSALUD regulated private clinics (all HealthTechPE's B2B targets). EsSalud (public insurance, 30% of population) had separate digital health procurement. Six presidents 2016-2022 changed MINSA leadership 8 times, disrupting regulatory alignment.
Evaluating only HealthTechPE’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Regulation as the #1 likely cause. That’s exactly how it died.

Documented cause
HealthTechPE built telehealth. 8 MINSA ministers in 6 years. Protocol registrations reset 3 times. Approvals never lasted full market cycle.
Lesson
“Peru healthtech must register with SUSALUD (private clinic regulator) rather than MINSA — SUSALUD has institutional continuity across presidential changes, while MINSA leadership changes with each administration.”
