The “Hermana Josefina Serrano” Hospital is a beacon of hope for many. Nestled in the heart of the city of Cusco, Peru, it serves as a lifeline for low-income people who lack access to essential health services. The hospital, with its three medical centers and four medical offices, is more than just a building. It’s a special place where those who are weary and sick find refuge and solace.
Despite the scarcity of resources and pressing need for medical equipment, the hospital staff work tirelessly, their faces etched with determination and compassion. They treat every patient with dignity and respect, understanding that everyone is more than just a number or name on a chart.
Most of the patients are humble peasants, their hands hardened by years of toil in the fields. They come from places where the nearest doctor is miles away, and the concept of regular health checkups is a luxury they can’t afford. Yet, within the walls of the “Hermana Josefina Serrano” Hospital, they find a place where their health and well-being are prioritized.
The hospital is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Sr. Josefina Serrano and Fr. Rodrigo Molina, whose vision and dedication have made it possible for the less fortunate to have access to quality healthcare. It stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, a place where every life is valued, and every individual is treated with the empathy and respect they deserve. It is a place where, despite the hardships, there is always a reason to smile, because, as Sr. Josefina Serrano once said, “We are happy, and very much, inside our hearts, because we are full of God, who is a source of joy.”
