MEF promotes the new EsSalud medical complex in Lima that will serve 5.7 million insured individuals starting in 2026

Lima, February 27, 2026.- The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) reports that in April 2026, comprehensive rehabilitation will begin on the 23 floors of the Torre Trecca, where 110 state-of-the-art consultation rooms and clinical equipment will be installed, for the benefit of 5.7 million insured individuals of the Social Health Insurance (ESSALUD). This milestone will be achieved by virtue of Addendum No. 2 to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement signed between ESSALUD and the Trecca Consortium.

The TRECCA Project is one of the most innovative public health solutions in Latin America, which is why it forms part of the strategic portfolio of the National Sustainable Infrastructure Plan for Competitiveness, aimed at closing critical gaps in specialized services and preventive care.

Thanks to the signing of Addendum No. 2, the tower will be completely renovated and converted into a modern 58,900 m² complex, equipped with 110 consultation rooms and 300 state-of-the-art clinical equipment, including three Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, four Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, four mammography machines, and high-precision diagnostic technology, substantially strengthening the system’s capacity to provide solutions.

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Gerardo López, highlighted that this investment marks a milestone in the development of the country’s healthcare infrastructure, prioritizing prevention, early diagnosis, and timely care with top-level technological standards, directly benefiting millions of insured individuals.

It should be noted that last year, the Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN), with the support of the MEF, took over the technical management of the project through an inter-institutional agreement with EsSalud, which made it possible to resolve outstanding issues and unblock its implementation in a few months, after decades of no progress. The Agency’s technical intervention facilitated compliance with the conditions necessary to begin the final phase of infrastructure rehabilitation.

The intervention will double the primary care capacity of the EsSalud Central Complex on Av. Arenales in Lima, significantly reducing waiting lists for outpatient consultations, diagnostic procedures, and cancer screening, benefiting insured members of the Rebagliati, Almenara, and Sabogal networks.

It will also consolidate its position as one of the most important cost-containment tools for EsSalud’s insured population in Lima —which accounts for 47.20% of the national total— by reducing avoidable hospitalizations, the incidence of chronic diseases, and the need for high-cost treatments.

During its execution, the project will generate more than 1,800 direct and indirect jobs during the construction phase and more than 7,000 during the operational phase, boosting the economy and strengthening the specialized healthcare services ecosystem in the country.
