RESUMO
The National Health Authority (SUSALUD) has developed an online platform, "ReSUelve tu afiliación", with the intent to solve the problems with health service access experienced by Peruvian citizens who hold health insurance policies through institutions that manage health insurance funds (IAFAS). This platform virtually articulates the main IAFAS in Peru, which receives requests from any user requiring an update on his/her affiliation status to be resolved within 24 hours. Nearly 8 months after the implementation of this platform, more than 55 thousand applications have been resolved, thus ensuring timely access to health services under the corresponding user coverage form. As a result, this platform has helped to guarantee citizens' rights to health service access in the face of infringement caused by delays in affiliation processing among the different IAFAS in Peru.

RESUMEN La Superintendencia Nacional de Salud (SUSALUD) ha desarrollado la plataforma en línea: "ReSUelve tu afiliación" con el propósito de solucionar problemas de acceso a los servicios de salud de los ciudadanos peruanos que cuentan con un seguro de salud en las instituciones administradoras de fondos de aseguramiento en salud (IAFAS). Esta plataforma articula virtualmente a las principales IAFAS en Perú, las cuales reciben solicitudes de cualquier usuario que requiera actualización del estado de su filiación, para resolverlas en menos de 24 h. En casi ocho meses de implementación se han resuelto más de 55 mil solicitudes, con lo cual se ha logrado que los usuarios accedan de forma oportuna a los servicios de salud bajo la cobertura correspondiente. De esta manera, se contribuye a garantizar el derecho al acceso a los servicios de salud, derecho que se veía vulnerado por los retrasos en los trámites de afiliación entre las diferentes IAFAS del país.
