Overview
- Comptroller César Aguilar Surichaqui documented patients observed in waiting rooms, people sleeping on floors, and injectable treatments given in rusted, deteriorated chairs at Hospital Goyeneche.
- The inspection verified the absence of the assigned ICU nurse at Goyeneche, a roughly 20‑minute delay to open the unit, and stretchers and chairs outfitted with non‑hospital bedding apparently used by on‑duty staff.
- At Honorio Delgado, cardiology devices were found inoperative, hindering diagnosis of blood‑pressure and heart‑rhythm problems, with some biomedical equipment lacking patrimonial codes needed for maintenance tracking.
- The Comptroller’s Office said these findings will be compiled in a formal report to hospital leaders and the Arequipa regional health manager.
- Regional health manager Walther Oporto acknowledged the deficiencies, said corrective actions are in progress, and noted that a transfer of equipment from Hospital Maritza Campos still awaits approval by the regional council.
