Project scope and objective

The purpose of this IIC operation is to finance the construction and operation of a state-of-the-art university hospital in Serena del Mar, Cartagena, to be operated by the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá. In its first stage, the hospital will have 151 beds and 50,000 m2 of floor area, and will be built on land covering seven hectares.

The project’s cost is estimated at US$113 million. With this operation, the IIC is providing the healthcare sector with access to long-term financing (up to 15 years) through a quasi-equity structure.

Centro Hospitalario Serena del Mar is expected to offer state-of-the-art procedures and be one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in Colombia. It will increase the availability of healthcare services in Colombia’s Caribbean region.
