Proyecto de inversión para la implementación de un centro especializado de trasplante hepático y renal en el Centro de Innovación de la Salud (CIS) de la Universidad de Cuenca. Periodo: 2021

Abstract

The National Institute for Organ, Tissue and Cell Donation and Transplantation (INDOT) is the entity in charge of regulating and coordinating transplantation activities in Ecuador. However, in the country there is a high mortality rate due to Cirrhosis and Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRF). It is important to consider that people have the right to receive free treatments and transplants since the state must cover the costs that are generated. At the national level there are 5 accredited establishments for kidney transplantation and 3 for liver transplantation, and in the city of Cuenca there is only one accredited hospital. The purpose of this project is to carry out a study to determine the feasibility of implementing a Specialized Center for Liver and Kidney Transplantation at the Center for Health Innovation (CIS) of the University of Cuenca. The CIS is a comprehensive entity of attention and care for personal and family well-being. The project is made up of different types of studies such as: market study, technical study, administrative study and economic-financial study within which the project was evaluated under two scenarios in order to provide a perspective with different types of financing. In the first, it was considered that the investment will be financed 100% with its own capital and for the second scenario, a financing of 50% with capital from the University and 50% with external financing was proposed. Based on the results, it was determined that the implementation of the Transplant Center is feasible.
