With this project, which we completed in December 2023, we overcame a particularly demanding challenge—not only because of the hospital’s size, but also because of the tight construction schedule of just 26 months. Throughout the construction process, we had to navigate extraordinary circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a transportation strike, and the war in Ukraine.
Together with two of the key figures involved—Pedro Gallego, Director of Hospital Construction, and Pedro Luis Rodríguez, Site Manager—we look back on the challenges, the teamwork, and the dedication of our professionals who made this major project possible.
The 12 de Octubre Hospital is the sixth flagship project in our series on Sacyr’s 40th anniversary, which we began in January with the Los Vilos-La Serena highway in Chile.
We invite you to discover it in this new video.

We continue to celebrate our 40th anniversary with a series of videos in which we look back at some of our most iconic projects.
