With support from NADBank and Banco Multiva, new OSME Medical Complex inaugurated in San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora

• The project was financed with a US$14.21-million loan from NADBank and MXN$200 million in financing from Multiva, as the lead bank.

San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora – A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to inaugurate the OSME Medical Complex, which was built with financing provided by the North American Development Bank (NADBank) and Banco Multiva. This new hospital represents a significant step in advancing and strengthening healthcare in this city and neighboring communities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The project obtained a $14.21 million loan from NADBank, as well as MXN$200 million in financing from Multiva, as the lead bank, and a $42.5-million credit line for valued added taxes, providing a financial structure that enabled the investment in this social infrastructure.

The medical complex was designed based on efficient construction criteria, incorporating technologies and materials that reduce water use by approximately 43% and energy consumption related to climate control by nearly 18% compared to conventional medical facilities in a region characterized by extreme weather conditions.

“This project demonstrates that healthcare infrastructure on the border can grow in an environmentally responsible manner,” said Salvador Lopez, NADBank Chief of Environmental Affairs. “We commend OSME Salud for its initiative to build an efficient medical complex that significantly reduces water and energy use in a region dealing with water scarcity and extreme temperatures, while also expanding healthcare capacity for the local population. This balance between health, the environment and well-being of the community is fundamental to the development of the region.”

The participation of Banco Multiva reflects its solution-focused approach for diverse sectors, such as social infrastructure, through a model that prioritizes understanding the client and flexible structuring, with the ability to align financial objectives with long-term economic and social impact.

“For Multiva, supporting these types of projects reflects our commitment to continuing to drive infrastructure development that strengthens regional capabilities, especially in vital sectors like healthcare, where investment translates directly into the well-being of the community,” said Acbor González, Executive Director of Institutional Development for Banco Multiva.

With this approach, Multiva has strengthened its differentiated value proposition within the Mexican financial system, by offering specialized advisory services and end-to-end project support, underpinned by a comprehensive perspective on risk and value creation.

During construction, the project generated approximately 406 direct jobs and is expected to create more than 140 permanent jobs during its operational phase, contributing to the local economy, as well as strengthening the healthcare sector in the municipality.

“With this medical complex, OSME seeks to be the primary partner of physicians and their work; a hospital that provides assurance to patients, with effective medical tools, designed to be welcoming and in strict compliance with health regulations,” stated Dr. Raul Payan Ruiz, General Manager of OSME Salud. “This project has a binational scope, where being solution-focused and accessible is our defining characteristic.”

The OSME Medical Complex consists of a hospital and a medical specialty center focused on providing timely, specialized care to local patients and those from nearby communities, thus expanding the available options in the municipality. The new facilities have the capacity to handle up to 30,000 primary care exams a year, adds 58 hospital beds in the city and provides access to critical medical services, such as intensive care, cardiovascular and vascular surgery, advanced diagnostics, a blood bank and emergency care.

The project was developed and will be operated by OSME Salud, an organization with more than 35 years of experience providing medical services in the region, serving both the local population and patients from the southern United States—particularly agricultural workers.
