Hospital of Concepcion One of the main announcements was the tender for the Gran Hospital of Concepcion, scheduled for November 30 at the Itaipu portal. With an investment of USD 40 million, this hospital will cover 20,000 square meters and will have more than 160 beds, in addition to all the necessary specialties so that the people of Concepcion do not have to travel to the capital. Construction is expected to begin in March 2025. Renovated schools and early childhood centers In the educational field, the Secretary of State reported that the MOPC will allocate USD 3.2 million to intervene in 16 schools through the TAPE program, as well as a New Model Educational Center that will have an investment of USD 2 million, financed by Itaipu Binacional. These works seek to improve the infrastructure and conditions for students and teachers.
In addition, three early childhood centers will be built in coordination with the Ministry of Children and Adolescents, reinforcing the commitment to the comprehensive development of children in the region. Road infrastructure: routes and connectivity In terms of road infrastructure, the paving of the Concepcion - San Lazaro section will be carried out, with an investment of USD 185 million, financed by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID). This concrete corridor will connect the region with important industrial hubs, such as the Paracel factory, and will strengthen its economy. The minister also reported that USD 11 million is available to carry out the improvement of the section that links Concepcion with Belen, which will significantly increase connectivity and the revitalization of the local economy. Concepcion is becoming an integrated department. This development is thanks to the vision of President Pena, who promotes these works to enhance the progress of the region, Centurion emphasized.

Thanks to an inter-institutional agreement, urban streets were paved in the city. Each one did their part: machines, asphalt, travel expenses. This is what we can achieve when we work together under the leadership of the president, Centurion emphasized. These works reflect the commitment of the Government of Paraguay to promote the comprehensive development of Concepcion, laying the foundations for a more prosperous and connected future.
