PROINVERSIÓN: PPP PORTFOLIO IN HEALTH 2024-2025 AMOUNTS TO US$ 700 MILLION
Lima, January 15, 2024.- After the successful award of the EsSalud hospital projects in Piura and Chimbote for more than US$ 300 million in 2023, the Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) is now preparing to award concessions for six PPP projects in the health sector for an estimated amount of US$ 700 million between 2024 and 2025.
This PPP portfolio in health, which will benefit more than 2 million inhabitants, is made up of the following projects:
- Operation and Maintenance of the New Villa El Salvador Emergency Hospital (US$ 114 million)
- New Central Military Hospital (US$ 116 million)
- Operation and maintenance of the Cajamarca Hospital (US$ 176 million)
- Integrated Solid Waste Management in Health Facilities of the Ministry of Health in Metropolitan Lima (US$ 24 million)
- Comprehensive modernization of the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital (US$ 250 million)
- Operation and Maintenance of the National Institute of Child Health of San Borja (US$ 16 million)
Among the highlights of this PPP portfolio is the upcoming international call for a public tender for the award of the "Operation and Maintenance of the New Villa El Salvador Emergency Hospital", a gray coat services project that will be concessioned for 15 years by the Ministry of Health, for the benefit of more than 750,000 citizens in the southern area of Lima. It is expected to be awarded in the second half of this year.
Another advance has been the incorporation of the "New Central Military Hospital" project, commissioned by the Ministry of Defense, to be developed through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), into the private investment promotion process. This Co-Financed Unsolicited Proposal, which is now in the Structuring phase, will benefit more than 270,000 people (army personnel and their families). It is estimated that the Declaration of Interest for this project will be published in the second half of 2024.
Meanwhile, the Operation and Maintenance of the Cajamarca Hospital project seeks to guarantee the maintenance of infrastructure and equipment, as well as the operation of the gray and green coat services. The call for public tender is scheduled for the second half of this year.
Similarly, the comprehensive modernization project for the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital, better known as Bravo Chico, is progressing steadily and will be incorporated into the private investment promotion process in the third quarter of 2024.
The project Integral Solid Waste Management in Health Facilities of the Ministry of Health in Metropolitan Lima consists of building, operating and maintaining facilities for the treatment of special and biocontaminated solid waste. It is in the formulation phase and its Declaration of Interest is expected for the second half of the year.
Work is also being carried out on the Operation and Maintenance of the National Institute of Child Health of San Borja project, which is already in the formulation phase and is expected to be awarded next year.
As for the Piura and Chimbote Hospitals, awarded by PROINVERSIÓN in June 2023, EsSalud signed the supervision contracts for both hospital projects on Friday 12, thus completing the necessary acts for the signing of the concession contracts by February 2024, for the benefit of more than 1.2 million policyholders.
GOAL 2024
This PPP portfolio in health is part of PROINVERSIÓN's auspicious US$ 8,000 million award goal for this year. "The goal is ambitious but achievable. It will require joint work with the State Stakeholders (ministries and regulators) and with a clear sense of urgency", highlighted the executive director of PROINVERSIÓN, José Salardi.
