China donates construction materials worth $431,657.82 to Arzobispo Loayza Hospital construction (linked to #56926)

On September 6, 2010, the Government of Peru formally accepted a donation of construction materials valued at US$431,657.82 for the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital, which is overseen by the Peruvian Ministry of Health (Ministerio de Salud). The materials were designated for the expansion of the hospital. The contents of the donation were verified by the Peruvian Equipment and Maintenance of the Ministry of Health under the General Directorate of Infrastructure (Dirección General de Infraestructura, Equipamiento y Mantenimiento).

Additional details

It is unclear if these supplies were independently granted by the Chinese Embassy in Peru to support the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital Expansion Project, or if these materials are covered under the 36 million RMB grant to construct the hospital expansion already captured in #56926. The construction contract notes “offer[ing] the necessary construction materials” and “maritime transport…of the construction resources, work machines, construction equipment” are responsibilities of the Chinese government and that the 36 million RMB price “refers to the total price of the tasks performed by the Chinese Party as stipulated in this contract” (see "Resolución Directoral 011-2011-DGIEM [and other documents]," pgs. 9-18). However, documents associated with the donation specifically list the Chinese Embassy as the donor.
