Our children's hospital





Construction of the 'Tony Molleapaza Rojas Children's Hospital' in Arequipa, in the south of Peru, began at the end of 2006 and was officially opened on 19 April 2012. EGM Architects designed a small-scale, fully-fledged hospital that responds to local conditions, free of charge.
This hospital focuses its free projects specifically on children born with a defect.
The children's hospital is an initiative of the collaborating NGOs Stichting PAZHolandesa (Netherlands) and the Asociación PAZ-Holandesa (Peru). Both organizations have been active as collaboration partners in the Peruvian health care sector for 15 years.
With the 'Tony Molleapaza Rojas Children's Hospital', PAZ-Holandesa provides access to comprehensive care and appropriate high-quality rehabilitation for disabled children. The hospital will eventually develop into a fully-fledged children's hospital where all children's specialties are offered. Equality is assumed. Socio-economic circumstances therefore play no role.
The 'Tony Molleapaza Rojas' Children's Hospital aims to be a model for urban hospitals in Peru, accessible to people with and without financial resources. PAZ- Holandesa also provides training at management and operational (medical) level, to its own staff, related projects and organizations.
The ultimate goal of PAZ-Holandesa is to close the gap that exists within the Peruvian health sector, specifically for children (with congenital defects) without financial resources.
In 2017 we had to change the name to Clinica PAZHolandesa, as the use of the word Hospital is only reserved for hospitals of the Peruvian government.







There are more than 100 employees 90 people (Peruvians) in the hospital of which 40 nurses en 15 doctors/paramedics.

The hospital consists of 10 buildings on 6000 m2 ground and is designed by EGM Architects. Each building has its own function.
The Tony Moleapaza Children's Hospital won the prestigious award in 2013 Design & Health International Academy Award, an award for the best hospital in the world in the category up to 40.000 square meters.

The hospital has a outpatient clinic with 8 consultation rooms, 55 beds, 5 wards, 11 single or double rooms, laboratory, pharmacy, kitchen, X-ray,delivery room and also has, among other things, three modern equipped operating rooms, an sterilization department, an CT scan, an echo device.
