Named after its promoter, Edgardo Rebagliati, it is the most important social security hospital complex in Peru.

[5] The project was entrusted to the American architects Edward Durell Stone and Alfred Lewis Aydelott.

[6] Odría greatly appreciated this work and considered it one of the most representative of his government, so, even though it was not yet fully equipped, he organized an inauguration ceremony on July 24, 1956, four days before the end of his presidency.

On November 3 of that year, it was definitively inaugurated in a ceremony presided over by the Minister of Health, Francisco Sánchez Moreno.
