Policlínico Peruano Japones

What Policlínico Peruano Japones does

Policlínico Peruano Japonés is the outpatient healthcare unit of the Asociación Peruano Japonesa (APJ), a non-profit foundation of the Peruvian nikkei community. Founded in 1982 (with a 1981 timeline reference in some sources) with four consultation rooms, it has grown over more than 40 years into a multi-specialty outpatient clinic operating three locations in the Jesús María and Pueblo Libre districts of Lima, Peru, employing 101–250 staff and offering more than 30 medical specialties alongside diagnostic imaging, clinical laboratory, anatomical pathology, rehabilitation, psychology, language and learning therapies, pharmacy, optics, orthopedics, and a cafeteria.

The clinic's technology stack is anchored by capital-intensive diagnostic equipment, including the only digital mammograph with tomosynthesis in Lima, digital X-ray systems using phosphor plates and laser-read high-resolution monitors, a fluoroscopy unit, the first installation in Peru of the Roche Cobas PRO integrated chemistry/immunology laboratory platform, ultrasound and Doppler imaging, bone densitometry, and a helical tomograph. Operational IT consists of an ERP system (implemented 2017) unifying clinical and administrative records, a teleconsultation platform (since 2020), online appointment booking, online lab results, and the PERUANO JAPONÉS SALUD mobile app. It also runs the annual International Medical Course in partnership with four Peruvian universities and several specialty societies.

Revenue is generated on a direct-to-consumer basis from outpatient consultations, diagnostics, lab analysis, therapy sessions, and ancillary retail services (pharmacy, optics, orthopedics, cafeteria), plus registration fees for the International Medical Course. The clinic does not publish consultation pricing. Capital expenditure and infrastructure expansion have historically been supported by donations from JICA, The Nippon Foundation, and the Peruvian nikkei community, alongside a cooperation agreement with the Ministerio de Salud del Perú. There are no disclosed external private equity or venture capital investors.
