Construction License for Torre Trecca Is Granted to EsSalud, Marking Key Milestone in Auna's Public–Private Partnership with the Institution
Auna S.A. ("Auna" or the "Company"), a leading healthcare services provider in Latin America with operations in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, announced today that EsSalud, Peru's Social Security System, has formally received the construction license for Torre Trecca, a high-rise outpatient treatment center that Auna will rebuild and, upon completion, operate on behalf of EsSalud as part of an existing public–private partnership ("PPP").
When completed, Torre Trecca is expected to serve more than six million Peruvians living in the city of Lima who are insured by EsSalud and to accommodate more than three million visits annually. The license milestone was commemorated during a ceremony attended by the Executive Director of ProInversión (the Peruvian government agency that promotes private investment), Luis Del Carpio; the Executive President of EsSalud, Segundo Acho Mego; the Mayor of the Jesús María District, Jesús Gálvez, and the Vice Chairman of Auna, Luis Felipe Pinillos.
Auna first entered into the PPP with EsSalud in 2010 to rebuild Torre Trecca and operate the facility on behalf of the institution. The approval and formal delivery of the construction license to EsSalud represents an important step toward upgrading and modernizing this high-impact healthcare project. The amendment to the Torre Trecca PPP contract awarded to Auna is expected to receive final approval by the end of this year, enabling construction to begin in 2026.
Auna reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to high-quality healthcare services for the people of Lima. This significant milestone in the advancement of the PPP underscores the substantial progress achieved through the close collaboration of EsSalud and ProInversión.
