Construction of the Departmental Hospital of Nueva Guinea in Nicaragua
The Ministry of Health has proposed the construction of a departmental hospital in Zelaya Central, Nueva Guinea, in order to increase the capacity for free care and to have the necessary means to provide the Nicaraguan population with quality health services and high technology.
This project contributes to the development of local response capacities of the Local Comprehensive Health Care System by its acronyms in Spanish (SILAIS) of Central Zelaya, which currently has only a basic and ambulatory service offer of first level care units and a deteriorated infrastructure, minimal and obsolete equipment without the necessary services and capacity to provide comprehensive care.
This new departmental hospital will be the largest health unit in the region and will benefit approximately 184,950 inhabitants of the area and its surroundings and will have 180 beds (144 census beds and 36 non-census beds). The services to be provided to the population include comprehensive care, specialized care, internal medicine, pediatrics, neonatology, pediatric surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, emergency, laboratory, ICU, administration, and general services such as pharmacy, medical supplies warehouse, laundry, dining room, among others.
The construction will be divided into 9 buildings: intensive care unit, emergency, surgical block, outpatient, laboratory, service pavilion, pathology and morgue, surgical block, hospitalization, and administration for a total of 6,852.40 MTS2 of construction, which will decongest the load of reference hospitals such as Juigalpa and Managua.
Estimated cost of investment: USD 22,000,000.00
Deadline for receipt of bids: April 18, 2022, at 10:00 a.m.
