The Peru-born firm aims to transform health in the region by providing access to an integrated offer of quality medical care.

Auna, a health company that operates in Latin America - Mexico, Peru and Colombia - made its official entry to the New York Stock Exchange this Friday, March 22, through an Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The IPO marks Auna's debut in international capital markets, thus becoming the first Latin American health services company listed in the United States, and the first case of a health-sector IPO in Spanish-speaking Latin America since 2018.

Starting today, the company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "AUNA". The IPO involved 30 million shares were issued at a price of US$12 per share.

"This fact reaffirms Auna's mission to transform health in the region by providing access to an integrated offer of quality medical care. We do so through a virtuous health circle, with a person-centered proposal and care excellence resulting in high medical resolution and a unique experience for patients. We have a healthcare team highly committed to the highest standards of quality and patient safety. In recent years, we have built one of the largest and more modern health platform in Latin America, with a horizontally-integrated network of 31 health centers and an integrated portfolio of oncology and health plans with more than 1.3 million members," stated Suso Zamora, executive chairman of the board and president of Auna.

It should be noted that in 2023, Auna reported revenues of US$ 1 billion and US$ 223 million adjusted Ebitda, growing 58% and 90%, respectively, when compared to 2022.

Auna's potential to provide access to health to Latin Americans includes a population of 413 million people, with an approximate healthcare expenditure of US$313 billion.
