Cuenca to Build Second Municipal Hospital in El Valle

Cuenca's Mayor, Cristian Zamora, has announced the launch of an international public tender for the construction and equipping of a new hospital in El Valle, located in the southern part of the city. This will be the second municipal hospital in Cuenca, with two more to follow.

Mayor Zamora shared the news on his social media, emphasizing his commitment to improving healthcare for the people of Cuenca. "My word is always kept. The first of three hospitals is already in the bidding process. A promise for the health of thousands of Cuencanos, especially in our rural areas, where they will be built," he stated.

Zamora also highlighted the speed at which the project has progressed, noting that it took just 14 months to complete all necessary steps, including consulting studies, land preparation, planning approval, securing multilateral loans, and obtaining reports from control bodies. "This has been achieved in record time," he added.

The Hospital del Valle marks the beginning of a broader plan to expand healthcare access across Cuenca, particularly in rural areas where the new facilities will be located.
