Alberto Cachuan was appointed General Coordinator of Pronis and previously worked in companies Avanzada Tecnología y Servicios SAC, as well as Constructora & Inmobiliaria Sagitario y Asociados SAC, which did business with Cerrón when he was Regional Governor of Junín.
The Republic had access to official documentation on the work and professional experience of Engineer Alberto Cachuan Zúñiga, appointed on January 18, 2023, General Coordinator of the National Health Investment Program – PRONIS, executing unit of the Ministry of Health that manages more than US$ 1,300 million for the construction of hospitals throughout the country.
The astonishing thing is that after the serious allegations of corruption made public against the former General Coordinator of PRONIS, Carlos Cantorín, who was part of Vladimir Cerrón’s entourage, for which he was removed from office, MINSA once again appoints another person related to the general secretary of Peru Libre, we refer to Engineer Alberto Cachuan.
Cachuan’s links with Cerrón
One of the pieces of evidence is the relationship between Vladimir Cerrón with the company Avanzada Tecnología y Servicios SAC, whose Works Manager was Alberto Cachuan. In August 2019, the Fifth Anti-Corruption Court of the Junín Judiciary sentenced Vladimir Cerrón for the crime of Incompatible Negotiation for improperly benefiting the Altiplano consortium, led by the Peruvian company Avanzada Tecnología y Servicios SAC.

Despite having been in prison for the improper payment made to this company, the Junín regional government, headed by Cerrón, went from signing contracts with that company for 5 million to more than 400 million.
Another link is the relationship between Carlos Cantorin and the Constructora & Inmobiliaria Sagitario y Asociados SAC, whose Obra resident was Alberto Cachuan. When Carlos Cantorin (another of Cerrón’s trusted men) was General Coordinator of PRONIS, he benefited the company Constructora & Inmobiliaria Sagitario y Asociados SAC with the good Pro of 3 works contracts in less than a year: Hospital El Progreso in Chimbote; Parcona Health Center in Ica and Leoncio Prado Hospital in Huamachuco, Trujillo.
Reliable sources affirm that the new General Coordinator of PronisAlberto Cachuan Zuñiga, is a professional fully trusted by Vladimir Cerrón, who with control of Pronis maintains his share of power in the Minsa.

The men of Cerrón in Health
But Alberto Cachuan is not the only official that Cerrón has managed to place in the Minsa. One of the characters close to the leader of Peru Libre in the health sector was Hernán Condori, who was a minister of Minsa. After his resignation, Condori was appointed advisor to the Directorate of Integrated Health Networks of Lima East on April 16, 2022, a position he resigned after criticism of this appointment.
Dionisio Poma Poma was also in the Vice Ministry of Benefits and Health Insurance, who was the candidate of Peru Libre for mayor of Chilca (Huancayo) in the 2010 and 2014 elections.
Another Cerrón supporter who was in the Minsa is Joel Candia Briceño (Perú Libre) as Vice Minister of Public Health and Juan Carlos Delgado (former head of the Advisory Cabinet), accused of being one of the main instigators for the execution of the ‘smurfing’ operation that caused the departure of former minister Jorge López.
One of Cerrón’s trusted men and supporter is Carlos Cantorín Camayo, coordinator of the National Investment Program (Pronis). As well as Erick Vera Egoávil, who before working at the Minsa General Office of Legal Advice, worked at the Santo Domingo de Huancayo Clinic with Vladimir Cerrón.
