Company Description
Auna S.A. (NYSE: AUNA) is a healthcare company that operates a horizontally and vertically integrated healthcare platform in Latin America. According to the company’s public disclosures, Auna focuses on the healthcare sector in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia and is active in medical care facilities and health plans. The company describes itself as a healthcare platform that prioritizes prevention and concentrates on high-complexity diseases that represent the highest healthcare spending in Spanish-speaking Latin America.
Founded in 1989, Auna reports that it has built one of Latin America’s largest modern healthcare platforms. Its network is described as a horizontally integrated network of healthcare facilities and a vertically integrated portfolio of oncological plans and selected general healthcare plans. As of June 30, 2025, Auna states that its network included 31 healthcare facilities, including hospitals, ambulatory centers, and prevention and wellness centers, with a total of 2,333 beds and 1.4 million health plan members or healthcare plans, depending on the specific disclosure.
Auna’s operations are based on two main pillars: medical care facilities and health plans. The company’s own description highlights a portfolio of oncology-focused plans and general health plans, together with a network of hospitals and other care centers. In earlier descriptions, Auna also refers to prepaid healthcare plans in Peru and dental and vision plans in Mexico, as well as a network that includes hospitals, outpatient, prevention, and wellness facilities. The company indicates that it operates through segments that include Oncosalud Peru and healthcare services in Peru, Colombia, and Mexico.
Auna characterizes its platform as integrated across the care continuum. Horizontally, it connects different types of facilities such as hospitals, ambulatory centers, and prevention and wellness centers. Vertically, it combines medical care centers with oncological and general health plans. This structure is intended, according to company statements, to support prevention, management of complex diseases, and access to healthcare in underpenetrated markets in Spanish-speaking Latin America.
The company repeatedly emphasizes a mission to transform healthcare by delivering access to a highly integrated offering of services in low-penetration markets. It positions its activities around high-complexity diseases, especially oncology, which it identifies as a key driver of healthcare expenditures. Auna’s disclosures also refer to Oncosalud Peru as part of its operations, and to an OncoMexico network in Mexico, reflecting an emphasis on oncology-related services and plans in multiple countries.
Auna’s healthcare platform spans three countries in Latin America. The company’s public statements consistently note operations in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. Within these markets, Auna reports that it operates hospitals and clinics, ambulatory centers, and prevention and wellness centers, and that it offers oncological and general health plans. Earlier descriptions also mention that key revenue is generated from Peru, and that the company provides prepaid healthcare plans in Peru and dental and vision plans in Mexico.
In addition to its healthcare operations, Auna discloses activities related to capital structure and financing. The company has reported debt refinancing transactions, including senior secured notes and term loans, and has discussed a medium-term leverage ratio objective. It has also announced an intention to invest in expanding its integrated healthcare platform in Mexico and to meet with debt and equity investors to evaluate financing alternatives. These disclosures indicate that Auna’s growth and capital structure are important elements of its overall corporate profile.
Auna has also highlighted public–private partnership activity in Peru. The company reports that it entered into a public–private partnership with EsSalud, Peru’s Social Security System, to rebuild and operate Torre Trecca, a high-rise outpatient treatment center in Lima, on behalf of EsSalud. Auna notes that this project is intended to serve millions of Peruvians insured by EsSalud and accommodate millions of visits annually when completed, illustrating the company’s role in large-scale healthcare infrastructure projects in its core markets.
