Suso Zamora, Executive Chairman of the Board and President of Auna, said: “Auna’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange today is a major milestone for our Company and reaffirms our mission to transform healthcare in Spanish-speaking Latin America by providing the region’s rapidly growing population with access to highly integrated healthcare. Our debut in the international equity markets is also the culmination of the hard work and dedication of the doctors, nurses, managers and many other colleagues who have helped create one of the region’s largest and most modern healthcare platforms.”

Mr. Zamora added: “Through Auna’s horizontally integrated network of 31 healthcare facilities and our vertically integrated portfolio of oncological and other health plans for over 1.3 million members, we provide access to improved healthcare in the region’s under-served markets.
