The hospital is situated at 2,650 m above sea level in Curahuasi in the South Peruvian Andes, where it enjoys an excellent strategic location just off the highway connecting Cusco-Abancay-Lima.
750,000 people, primarily Quechua Indians, live within a three hour drive radius of this center of the ancient Inca culture. It is the objective of Diospi Suyana to offer comprehensive medical care to the Quechuas. The Diospi Suyana Hospital is equipped with 100 beds, 6 operating theatres, an intensive care unit, labs and x-ray facilities and employs around 180 locals. The 50 or so non-indigenous members of staff are financially supported by friends at home. Construction began on May 24, 2005 and over 4,500 people took part in the inauguration celebration on 31 August 2007, including the First Lady of Peru, Pilar Nores de Garcia and Minister of Health, Dr. Carlos Gallejos. Since then a dental and an eye clinic have been added.
April 2012 saw the dedication of the Children´s House, which provides excellent facilities and equipment for the weekly work of the Diospi Suyana Kids’ Clubs.
The Diospi Suyana School was founded in 2014. Currently 570 students are enrolled. In a national competition our facility scored extremely high with results comparable to those of private institutions for the upper class in Lima.
The work of the Diospi Suyana Media Center began on August 31, 2016. We are currently reaching the population of five states through 12 FM-towers. We estimate that approximately 2 million people in Apurimac, Cusco, Puno, Madre de Dios and Ayacucho can tune in to our programm.
Since 2023, Diospi Suyana has been organizing five-day youth festivals. In 2024, 4000 young people from 20 states and 14 countries attended the event in Curahuasi. Around half a million people followed the evening concerts and church services via streaming and our radio channel.
