The Pacasmayo Hospital will be built with steel-reinforced concrete and other earthquake-resistant materials.

Services available at the hospital will include emergency care, ultrasound procedures, deliveries, laboratory analysis, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, sales of pharmacy products and sterilization.
