- Preventive control seeks to reactivate the project of the National Polytechnic School of Santa, which affects more than 350 students. Ancash registers 182 paralyzed public worksAncash.- The Comptroller General of the Republic, Cesar Aguilar Surichaqui, announced this morning the start of a preventive control service aimed at unblocking and reactivating the paralyzed work of the project Improvement and expansion of the secondary education service of the National Polytechnic School of Santa, in Chimbote. The intervention seeks to promote the completion of a key educational infrastructure, currently unfinished, that directly affects more than 350 students.
The work, whose completion was scheduled for June 25 of this year, was rescheduled until September 27 after successive deadline extensions. However, the execution contract was resolved by both the Pacific Sub Region of the Regional Government of Ancash and the contractor consortium, a situation that deepened its paralysis. As of December 2025, the project recorded physical progress of only 22%, below the 29.63% programmed.
The execution of the work began without an adequate soil study, which led to the partial development of the foundation with pylons and, finally, its cessation. This was reported by the authority, within the framework of the multi-sector and territorial control operation being carried out in the region, after specifying that the contractual amount of the work is around 52 million soles. The contract was resolved on March 13 and immediately afterwards, proactively, we have been accredited with a preventive control to see how the work is reactivated, the comptroller stated.
As of last January, the Ancash region registers 182 paralyzed public works, with an updated cost that exceeds S/ 1.7 million and a balance pending execution of S/ 899.4 million, which reflects the dimension of the problem in the management of public investment. Faced with this scenario, the Comptroller Generals Office has assumed the commitment to execute 10 preventive control services until the end of the year; Of them, two have already been completed and, currently, monitoring is being carried out to ensure the implementation of the recommendations made.
Hospitals of Casma and Huarmey
The health sector control commission supervised the support hospitals in the provinces of Casma and Huarmey, where multiple deficiencies related to medical equipment were noted, as well as limitations in the emergency and surgery areas, in addition to overcrowding and inadequate storage conditions for medicines in the pharmacy.
At the Casma hospital, it was alerted that of the two available operating rooms, only one is operational due to the lack of implementation, to which is added the restriction on opening hours. Likewise, a lack of personnel, leaks in the air conditioning evaporation system in the X-ray area and the inoperability of the dental unit were identified.
For its part, at the Huarmey hospital, inoperative equipment was detected, such as scialysis in the delivery room. In the emergency area, the absence of an exclusive environment for triage was observed, as well as the lack of a multiparameter monitor in the shock trauma area. During the operation, the absence of some of the personnel, who were outside the establishment for training, was also noted, which restricted care in the surgical center.
Infrastructure and prevention
Likewise, the control commission of the Megaprojects Submanagement inspected the work carried out by the National Infrastructure Authority (ANIN) on the Lacramarca River, as part of the riverbank protection service against the risk of flooding, to safeguard 58 communities located in the districts of Macate, Caceres del Peru and Chimbote, in the province of Santa.
Likewise, the quality of the educational infrastructures executed by ANIN was verified in schools No. 88229 San Juan and No. 88032 San Pedro Apostol, in Chimbote, as well as in educational institutions No. 037999 of Villa Maria and No. 1563 Cristo Rey Amigo de los Ninos, in Nuevo Chimbote. These works were delivered to UGEL Santa between 2023 and 2024, within the framework of Package 8 of the Education portfolio under the State-to-State contract modality.
