David Guillermo Miranda Herrera assumed the role of general coordinator of the National Health Investment Program (Pronis) under the Ministry of Health (Minsa) in Peru. ^[1] Soleil Metals, the Peru subsidiary of the Swis metallurgical group Ocim, plans to end 2026 with one tonne of gold produced, according to its general manager Iván Salas. ^[2] Miranda Herrera proposed designing hospital coverage initiatives that include public-private partnerships and tax-based works in addition to public works. ^[3] Miranda Herrera stated that a primary challenge of his management will be contributing to closing infrastructure gaps and accelerating the fulfillment of objectives and deadlines for health projects. ^[4] Iván Salas, general manager of Soleil Metals and director of Ocim in Peru, said in an interview that the company met its first-half 2026 objectives, including making its two Arequipa processing plants fully operational. ^[5] Soleil Metals currently produces about 100 kilograms of gold per month from its two Arequipa processing plants, a rate the company aims to sustain until December 2026. ^[6] Soleil Metals is in the first stage of Swiss Better Gold accreditation and is pursuing Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) certification, which Iván Salas said would make the company the only one in Peru with both if completed within 2026; the accreditation would allow exports to Swiss refineries with London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards. ^[7] Espinoza Barreto stated that work must be coordinated with a patient-focused approach to ensure infrastructure development strengthens services and prioritizes primary care. ^[8]
