Overview
- Martín Vizcarra was moved from the Penal de Barbadillo to Hospital de Lima Este on Tuesday after a renal colic and, according to his lawyer, a suspected cardiac complication that led to admission to the intensive care unit.
- The National Penitentiary Institute confirmed Vizcarra’s transfer followed established procedures and said he is stable and under observation.
- Pedro Pablo Kuczynski was taken to Clínica Angloamericana in San Isidro on Monday for a stomach complaint, underwent tests and received same-day discharge, with his lawyer describing the episode as not serious.
- Vizcarra is serving a 14-year sentence for cohecho and has a documented history of severe kidney disease, including the loss of his left kidney in January 2026 and reduced function in his remaining kidney, which has prompted multiple prior hospital visits.
- Public updates rely mainly on statements from INPE, lawyers and close associates and give few clinical details from hospitals, so officials’ next medical bulletins will determine whether custody arrangements or further transfers are needed.
