Lima, March 20, 2025.- The Government of Peru and the Government of the United Kingdom expanded their collaboration on high complexity hospital infrastructure to incorporate the Guillermo Díaz de la Vega Regional Hospital in Apurímac into their Government-to-Government Agreement. This project joins the “Trujillo Regional Teaching Hospital” and the “Piura High Complexity Hospital”, which are already under development.
The signing took place at the Presidential Palace in Lima on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, with the presence of President Dina Boluarte, the British Ambassador to Peru, Gavin Cook, and the Minister of Health, Dr. César Vásquez Sánchez.
This milestone allows the United Kingdom Healthcare Alliance (UKHA) Consortium, comprised of Aecom, Currie & Brown, and Gleeds, to continue and expand its technical assistance to the National Health Investment Program (PRONIS) of the Peruvian Ministry of Health.
Likewise, the “UK-Peru Healthcare Partnership” forum between Peru and the United Kingdom, included within the framework of the Government-to-Government Agreement, will be strengthened to promote knowledge exchange and innovation in healthcare infrastructure.
The British Ambassador to Peru, Gavin Cook, stated
We are excited to strengthen our collaboration with the Peruvian government in driving the development of social, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure that delivers for the population around the country – and driving wider improvements in healthcare.
These projects don’t just close a physical infrastructure gap. They will improve people’s lives. The chance to do this in Abancay is a privilege.
For his part, the General Coordinator of the National Health Investment Program (PRONIS) emphasized
We are democratizing access to healthcare, reaching more regions with quality infrastructure to improve the well-being of citizens.
The Guillermo Díaz de la Vega Regional Hospital is in Apurímac, a region in southern Peru that faces various challenges in access to healthcare. The development of this modern hospital will significantly improve the quality of care for citizens. Furthermore, during the construction period, a Contingency Hospital will be available to ensure the continuity of healthcare services.
