The objectives were to make a description of the hospital and the works undertaken, exposing the conditions of the agreement between the city and religious and describe changes that occur during 1894. There has been a historical documentary study during the years 2014-2015 of the files deposited in the Municipal Archives of Trujillo. The Municipal Hospital in the city of Trujillo, was destined to service citizens, sick soldiers and bystanders. The Sisters Lovers of Jesus and Mary Immaculate performed treatment of patients since the year 1890. To assist the sisters would be hired a nurse and a nurse, paid by the city. During 1894 the City Council performed changes that produced the cessation of the assistance service of religious. The changes originated by the complaints of some patients and the high costs that the City Council had to pay for hospital maintenance. With the cessation, the religious began to study a new organization of the regime and the management of the institution.
