Peru begins S/486 million modernization of EsSalud Torre Trecca

Construction has officially commenced on the modernization of the Torre Trecca building for EsSalud in Jesús María, Lima. The project, which has been stalled for over 15 years, involves an investment of approximately S/486 million through a Public-Private Partnership (APP) facilitated by ProInversión.

The initiative includes structural reinforcement, comprehensive remodeling, and the installation of specialized medical equipment. Once completed, the facility is expected to handle approximately one million external consultations annually, aiming to alleviate congestion at the Rebagliati, Almenara, and Sabogal hospitals. The project is intended to benefit roughly 1.4 million insured citizens in Lima and Callao.

While some reports suggest a 24-month construction period, President Keiko Fujimori stated during the commencement ceremony that the building could be operational within 18 months. The reactivation follows a series of contractual restructurings and institutional coordination led by ProInversión and the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
