[4] Archbishop Loayza himself died in 1575 in a small room in the hospital and was buried in the patio of the premises, until his remains were later transferred to the crypt of the Cathedral of Lima.
Constantino T. Carvallo [es], a doctor from the University of San Marcos, enabled an area of the hospital as a surgical room for gynecological teaching.
[8] In 1902, because its facilities were deteriorating, so the construction of a modern hospital was decided as its replacement, to be built on land owned by the organisation located on Alfonso Ugarte Avenue, near Plaza Dos de Mayo, in the historic centre of Lima.
[6] For this purpose, an executive committee of social and hospital assistance was established, chaired by the doctor and philanthropist Augusto Pérez Araníbar, the true promoter of the work.
[9] In 1912, the French architect Claude Sahut was commissioned to design the new building, and the project won the gold medal at the International Hygiene Exhibition.
[8] It was inaugurated after a significant delay on December 11, 1924, under the government of Augusto B. Leguía, being baptized with the name of the Arzobispo Loayza Women's Hospital, in honor of its colonial founder.
Its first administrative superior was Sister Rosa Larrabure, who carried out important social work; She was also the first director of the National School of Nursing.
[5] Like its predecessor, the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital continued to provide preferential care to women with low economic resources, until the mid-1990s, when it began to serve patients of both sexes.
