Royal Hospital of Saint Andrew

The Royal Hospital of Saint Andrew (Hospital Real de San Andrés), originally known as the Hospital of Our Lady of the Conception (Hospital de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción), was a hospital in the neighbourhood of Barrios Altos, part of the historic centre of Lima, Peru. The hospital is notable due to the fact that it was the first hospital in both the country and South America. It is also linked to the National University of San Marcos and its early history of healthcare studies, and once housed a number of mummies of the Inca Empire's nobility, including that of Pachacuti. In 1875, given the extensive hospital needs of the capital, the Dos de Mayo National Hospital was established in a new location, which inherited the responsibilities of the old royal hospital.
