A representative from the Ayacucho regional government highly praised POWERCHINA and said the hospital renovation project was a key social welfare project of the regional government.
On completion, it will be equipped with modern medical equipment and professionals, allowing local people to enjoy more high-quality and convenient medical services, he added.
The overall POWERCHINA project includes the renovation of four hospitals in the Ayacucho region.
After they are finished, they will provide quality of care and efficient medical services to the entire Ayacucho Region, radically transforming the current poor medical conditions there.
The Saint Michel Hospital project will be completed in July 2021. The contractors have completed 25 percent of the planned renovation. When it goes back into service, the hospital will provide emergency rooms, operating rooms, 15 consultation rooms and 29 beds, benefiting more than 47,000 residents.
In the wake of the release of an economic recovery plan on May 3 by the Peruvian government, the POWERCHINA project department has steadily picked up the pace of construction on the project, while carefully following novel coronavirus pandemic prevention and control measures.
The construction site comes equipped with full-time doctors and nurses who measure the body temperatures of employees every day, monitor their health at all times and distribute epidemic prevention materials, such as medical alcohol, masks and gloves.
