 Dear Ms. Ansart and
Ms. Bagley:

 On behalf of our client, Auna S.A. (the “Company”), we are responding to the comments from the Staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated March 15, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”). In response to the comments set forth in the Comment Letter, the Company has revised the Registration Statement and is
publicly filing it as amendment no. 5 to the Registration Statement and together with this response letter. The revised Registration Statement also contains certain additional updates and revisions.

Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. For convenience, the Staff’s comments are repeated below in italics,
followed by the Company’s response to the comments as well as a summary of the responsive actions taken. We have included page numbers to refer to the location in the revised Registration Statement where the revised language addressing a
particular comment appears.

 Further, we respectfully note that, as discussed, the Company is hoping, subject to market conditions, to become effective on
or about March 21. We greatly appreciate the Staff’s assistance in light of this timing.

 Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
filed March 14, 2024

 Financial Statements, page ii

1.
 We note your disclosure here that “[w]e are not a party to nor do we guarantee, nor are we otherwise
liable with respect to the debt under, the Sponsor Financing.” To provide prominent and material context to investors regarding the terms of the Sponsor Financing including its potential impact on the company, please revise your disclosure in
this section to clarify, as you do in your Risk Factors and Use Of Proceeds disclosures that:

•

 the documents governing the Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor Financing Amendment, will contain
various covenants and other obligations of the shareholders who are party thereto, including a requirement that such shareholders cause you to comply with certain of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, while also expanding the scope of
some of those covenants, in certain cases, to impose restrictions on what such shareholders will permit you to do with certain of our immaterial subsidiaries;

•

 the documents governing the Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor Financing Amendment will contain
various events of default, including an event of default that will occur if there is an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the 2029 Notes Indenture, to which you are a party; and

•

 if your shareholders default on their obligations under the terms of the Sponsor Financing, including if they
fail to cause you to comply with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Sponsor Financing will be entitled to certain remedies, including declaring all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable and
ultimately, foreclosing on the pledged shares, which could result in the lenders under the Sponsor Financing to sell securities of your company or the market to perceive that they intend to do so, which may cause the market price of your class A
shares to decline significantly.

 In addition, to provide additional clarity regarding the implications of the
Sponsor Financing to the company, please provide additional detail clarifying how you are “not otherwise liable” for the debt under the Sponsor Financing, given that you are a restricted entity under the agreement and the points noted in
the bullets above. Please also revise your disclosure here to include a reference to your exhibit(s) related to the Sponsor Financing that directs investors to refer to these materials for a complete description of the terms, including the covenants
and events of default. Make conforming changes throughout your filing.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has
revised the disclosure on pages ii, iii, 20, 48, 49, 60, 62, 66, 184 and 185 of the revised Registration Statement to provide additional disclosure on the terms of the Sponsor Financing as they do in the Risk Factors and Use Of Proceeds sections, to
provide additional clarity regarding the implications of the Sponsor Financing to the Company and to include a reference to its exhibits.

 As it relates to the Sponsor Financing, please address the following in your filing and provide any
additional information as part of your response, if necessary:

•

 Describe the full accounting for the $350 million payment to Heredia and related
transactions, including specific amounts related to the accounting;

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the
Company has revised the disclosure on pages 184 and 185 to disclose that the payment to Heredia Investments S.A.C. (“Heredia”), the non-controlling party in Auna Salud S.A.C. (“Auna
Salud”), of US$350.0 million will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as an “acquisition of non-controlling interest” in accordance with paragraph B96 which
provides guidance on the accounting for “changes in the proportion held by non-controlling interests” under the International Financial Reporting Standards 10 (IFRS 10) “Consolidated Financial
Statements”.

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission

March 18, 2024

 In addition, as supplemental information for the Staff’s review, the Company advises the Staff of the
following:

 As a background of the accounting in October 2022, the initial recognition of the capital contribution from Heredia of S/1,352.6 million
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements was following the guidance of IFRS 10, paragraph 23 as follows:

•

 The equity participation of Heredia in Auna Salud of S/402.4 million was recorded in the “non-controlling interest” account. This equity participation corresponds to the 21.2% attributable to Heredia over the total net assets of Auna Salud after the capital contribution of
S/1,352.6 million.

•

 The 79.8% equity participation of the Company, as controlling party over the total net assets of Auna Salud,
resulted in S/950.2 million after the capital contribution by Heredia, which was recorded in the “merger and other reserves” account.

Subsequent to the initial recognition explained above, the “non-controlling interest” of
S/402.4 million was adjusted for:

•

 Auna Salud’s profit attributable to Heredia of S/73.7 million from October 2022 to December 2023; and

•

 A reduction of S/315.4 million due to the equity effect of the transfer of Auna Salud’s shares to the
Company (for additional information on the share transfer from Auna Salud to the Company on August 31, 2023, please see below).

The end balance following these adjustments of S/160.7 million is the amount that will be derecognized when Auna S.A. acquires Heredia’s non-controlling interest in Auna Salud.

 In this regard, as was mentioned in the first paragraph of this response to the
Staff’s comment #5, to account for the “acquisition of non-controlling interest” of Heredia for US$350.0 million (S/1,296.8 million) in accordance with paragraph B96 under IFRS 10, the
Company will derecognize the corresponding balances from equity accounts as of December 31, 2023 as follows:

•

 A decrease of S/160.7 million (US$43.4 million) to
“non-controlling interest”, and

•

 A decrease of S/1,136.1 million (US$306.6 million) to “merger and other reserves.”

 The payment to Heredia of US$350.0 million (equal to S/1,296.8 million based on an exchange rate of S/3.705 to US$1.00 as of
December 29, 2023) less the decrease to “non-controlling interest” in an amount of S/160.7 million results in the decrease of S/1,136.1 million to “merger and other reserves”
account.

•

 Describe the basis for your accounting, including identification of any significant assumptions or judgments
made as part of your application of IFRS and any pertinent IFRS accounting literature you relied upon;

 Response: In response
to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 184 and 185 to disclose that the Company will record its contribution of US$350.0 million of the proceeds from this offering to Auna Salud and subsequent capital
reduction by Auna Salud, which will result in Auna Salud becoming the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, as an acquisition of non-controlling interest in accordance with guidance on changes in proportion
held by non-controlling interests under IFRS 10.

 In addition, as supplemental information for the Staff’s
review, the Company sets forth below a summary of the accounting the Company will follow for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Auna Salud:

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission

March 18, 2024

 Standalone financial statements of the Company and Auna Salud:

•

 As a result of Auna Salud’s transfer of 100% of the shares of Grupo Salud Auna México, S.A. de C.V.
to the Company in August 2023, the Company’s standalone financial statements includes an account payable to Auna Salud. This account payable will be paid by the Company through its transfer of US$350.0 million of the proceeds from this
offering to Auna Salud.

•

 Accordingly, Auna Salud’s standalone financial statements includes a corresponding account receivable from
the Company. This account receivable will be settled upon the transfer of US$350.0 million of the proceeds from this offering by the Company to Auna Salud. Auna Salud will use the funds to execute the capital reduction resulting in the
cancellation of 100% of shares of Auna Salud held by Heredia and will be recorded as a corresponding decrease to capital in Auna Salud’s standalone financial statements.

Consolidated financial statements of the Company:

Following the intercompany eliminations described above, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect these transactions as follows
(please also see the explanation in the previous response about the derecognition of the equity accounts attributable to Heredia):

Description

Debit (US$ million)

Credit (US$ million)

 Merger reserve

306.6

 Non-controlling interest

43.4

 Cash and cash equivalents

350.0

 The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it does not believe that the intercompany eliminations described above are
material to its investors and as such, the Company has not revised the disclosure in the Registration Statement to include information relating thereto.

Furthermore, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that due to the fact that the Company is currently the controlling shareholder of Auna Salud and will
be the sole owner of Auna Salud, the Company does not expect any significant assumptions or judgments to be made in connection with its accounting of the payment to Heredia.

•

 Clarify whether the $350 million payment to Heredia and related cancellation of shares is a
transaction at fair value;

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on
pages 184 and 185 to disclose that the US$350.0 million payment to Heredia and related cancellation of shares are transactions at fair value. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the capital contribution of S/1,352.6 million in
October 2022 approved by Auna Salud’s board of directors was at fair value. Likewise, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the amount of US$350.0 million that will be approved by the board of directors of Auna Salud as a capital
reduction is also at fair value.

•

 Identify the full amount of the original Sponsor Financing and the use of any proceeds over the amount the
company originally received. In this regard, we note the company originally received S/1,352,610,000, which appears to approximate $343 million at the time, and they are now receiving back $350 million with
$118 million that will remain outstanding;

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

March 18, 2024

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 184
and 185 to disclose the amounts reconciling the full principal amount of the Sponsor Financing to the remaining outstanding balance. The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the reconciliation of the full principal amount of the Sponsor
Financing to remaining outstanding balance is as follows:

 Description

In addition to this US$360.0 million in principal, the outstanding amount of indebtedness under the Sponsor Financing includes interest accrued since
October 2022, amounting to US$108.0 million.

            After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you

Financial Statements, page ii
1.We note your disclosure here that "[w]e are not a party to nor do we guarantee, nor are we
otherwise liable with respect to the debt under, the Sponsor Financing." To provide
prominent and material context to investors regarding the terms of the Sponsor Financing
including its potential impact on the company, please revise your disclosure in this section
to clarify, as you do in your Risk Factors and Use Of Proceeds disclosures that:

•the documents governing the Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor
Financing Amendment, will contain various covenants and other obligations of the
shareholders who are party thereto, including a requirement that such shareholders
cause you to comply with certain of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement,

while also expanding the scope of some of those covenants, in certain cases, to
impose restrictions on what such shareholders will permit you to do with certain of
our immaterial subsidiaries;

•the documents governing the Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor
Financing Amendment will contain various events of default, including an event of
default that will occur if there is an event of default under the Credit Agreement or
the 2029 Notes Indenture, to which you are a party; and

•if your shareholders default on their obligations under the terms of the Sponsor
Financing, including if they fail to cause you to comply with the covenants set forth
in the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Sponsor Financing will be entitled to
certain remedies, including declaring all outstanding principal and interest to be due
and payable and ultimately, foreclosing on the pledged shares, which could result
in the lenders under the Sponsor Financing to sell securities of your company or the
market to perceive that they intend to do so, which may cause the market price of
your class A shares to decline significantly.

In addition, to provide additional clarity regarding the implications of the Sponsor
Financing to the company, please provide additional detail clarifying how you are "not
otherwise liable" for the debt under the Sponsor Financing, given that you are a restricted
entity under the agreement and the points noted in the bullets above. Please also revise
your disclosure here to include a reference to your exhibit(s) related to the Sponsor
Financing that directs investors to refer to these materials for a complete description of the
terms, including the covenants and events of default. Make conforming changes
throughout your filing.

using a significant portion of the proceeds of this offering to repay the Sponsor Financing,
to which you are not a party.  Make conforming changes to your filing, including your

 Exhibit A

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

On October 5, 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding share capital of Hospital y Clínica OCA, S.A. de C.V. (“OCA”)
DRJ Inmuebles, S.A. de C.V. (“DRJ”), Inmuebles JRD 2000, S.A. de C.V. (“Inmuebles JRD 2000”), and Tovleja HG, S.A. de C.V. (“Tovleja” and together with OCA, DRJ and Inmuebles JRD 2000, “Grupo OCA”), a leading
healthcare group in Monterrey, Mexico. The aggregate purchase price was US$677.0 million, subject to purchase price adjustments. We funded our purchase of Grupo OCA through the incurrence of indebtedness, as well as a capital contribution by certain
of our shareholders, which they financed through the incurrence of indebtedness (the “Sponsor Financing”) through a holding company they created named Heredia Investments and pledged substantially all of the shares they hold in us in
connection therewith. We are not a party to nor do we guarantee, nor are we otherwise liable with respect to the debt under, the Sponsor Financing. Our shareholders intend to repay all amountsUS$[•] million outstanding under the Sponsor Financing with a portion of the proceeds of this offering. Following the completion of this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, US$[•] million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness will remain outstanding under the Sponsor Financing, which our shareholders intend to refinance in the near term.
The indebtedness under the Sponsor Financing has a final maturity of October 5, 2025. For additional information, see “Use of Proceeds” and “Principal Shareholders.”

 RISK FACTORS

Following the completion of the offering, Enfoca, our controlling shareholder, will own approximately [•]% of our class B shares and [•]% of our class A shares and certain of our officers and a
majority of our directors may be employed by or otherwise affiliated with Enfoca, which could give rise to potential conflicts of interest with them and certain of our other shareholders.

As of December 31, 2023, Enfoca, our controlling shareholder held approximately 72.9% of our outstanding shares and voting power.
Following the completion of this offering, our controlling shareholder will own approximately 72.9% of our class B shares representing
[•]% of our combined voting power (without giving effect to any class A shares that may be acquired in this offering through our Directed Share Program or otherwise), and as such, will continue to be our controlling
shareholder following the completion of the offering. As a holder of class A shares, you will be entitled to one vote per class A share. As a result of its ownership of the majority of our voting power, Enfoca will have the ability to control the
outcome of, among other matters, the election of our board of directors and, through our board of directors, decision-making with respect to our business direction; policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers and the fixing of
directors’ compensation; major corporate transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions; changes to our articles of association; and our capital structure. Enfoca will retain this control over significant corporate matters for as long as it,
either by itself or together with Mr. Pinillos Casabonne, directly or indirectly holds in the aggregate at least % of the voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital (without giving effect to any class A shares that may be acquired
in this offering through our Directed Share Program or otherwise). See “Description of Our Share Capital.” As a result, Enfoca may use its significant influence over our business without regard to the interests of other shareholders,
including in ways that could have a negative impact on your investment in the class A shares.

 In addition, in connection with the Sponsor Financing, our shareholders created Heredia Investments, which received the
proceeds of the Sponsor Financing. The proceeds were used for a capital contribution to our subsidiary, Auna
Salud S.A.C., in October 2022 to fund, in part, our purchase of Grupo OCA. As part of the Sponsor Financing,
certain of our controlling shareholders pledged substantially all of the shares they hold in us for the benefit of the lenders under the Sponsor Financing. We are not a party to the Sponsor Financing. However, our shareholders are required under the
terms of the Sponsor Financing to repay the Sponsor Financing with proceeds they receive from an equity offering by us (through a dividend, loan or other payment from the proceeds of that offering, or through a secondary sale of shares in us by our
shareholders). To facilitate a portion of that repayment, on the closing date of this offering, we will contribute US$[•] million of the proceeds from this
offering to Auna Salud S.A.C., who will in turn use those funds to effect a capital reduction which will result in the cancellation of [•]% of shares in it held by
Heredia Investments. Heredia Investments will use the funds it receives from Auna Salud S.A.C. to repay US$[•] million outstanding under the Sponsor Financing and in connection therewith, the documents governing the Sponsor Financing will be amended (the “Sponsor
Financing Amendment”).

 1

Following the completion of this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, US$[•] million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness will remain outstanding under the Sponsor Financing, which our shareholders intend to refinance in the near
term. The indebtedness under the Sponsor Financing has a final maturity of October 5, 2025. The documents governing the Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor Financing Amendment, will contain various
covenants, other obligations and events of default, including a requirement that such shareholders cause us to comply with certain of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. For additional information on the covenants in the Credit
Agreement, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations and Commitments—Credit Facilities—Credit and Guaranty Agreement.” Moreover, the documents governing the
Sponsor Financing, as amended by the Sponsor Financing Amendment, will no longer require that our shareholders repay the Sponsor Financing with proceeds they receive from a primary equity offering by us. If our shareholders default on their
obligations under the terms of the Sponsor Financing, including if they fail to cause us to comply with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Sponsor Financing will be entitled to certain remedies, including
declaring all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable and ultimately, foreclosing on the pledged shares. Foreclosing on the pledged shares may cause the lenders under the Sponsor Financing to sell securities of our company or the
market to perceive that they intend to do so. See “—Substantial sales of class A shares after this offering could cause the price of our class A shares to decrease.” The exercise of any of these remedies could conflict with your
interests, which may impact your investment in the class A shares and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties.

Furthermore, our Executive Chairman of the Board and President, Jesús Zamora León, and a majority of our directors, including
Jesús Zamora León, Jorge Basadre Brazzini, Leonardo Bacherer Fastoni, Andrew Soussloff and John Wilton, may be employed by or otherwise affiliated with Enfoca as directors on their board of directors. Although these directors and
officers attempt to perform their duties within each company independently, such employment relationships and affiliations could give rise to potential conflicts of interest when a director or officer is faced with a decision that could have
different implications for the two companies. These potential conflicts could arise, for example, over matters such as the desirability of changes to our business and operations, funding and capital matters, regulatory matters, matters arising with
respect to agreements with Enfoca, board composition, employee retention or recruiting, labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and our dividend policy and declarations of dividends, among other matters.

Substantial sales of class A shares after this offering could cause the price of our class A shares to decrease.

Our existing shareholders will hold a large number of our ordinary shares after this offering. We, our officers, directors and our existing
shareholders will enter into lock-up agreements with the underwriters pursuant to which they agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or hedge any class A shares or class B shares, without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan, during the 180 days following the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions. After this 180-day period expires, these securities, and any class A shares purchased pursuant to our Directed Share Program by
such individuals, will be eligible for sale.

Following
the completion of this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, US$[•] million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness will remain outstanding under the Sponsor
Financing, which our shareholders intend to refinance in the near term. The indebtedness under the Sponsor
Financing has a final maturity of October 5, 2025. The documents governing the Sponsor
Financing, as amended by the Sponsor Financing Amendment, will contain various covenants, other obligations
and events of default, including a requirement that such shareholders cause us to comply with certain of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. For additional information on the covenants in the Credit Agreement, see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations and Commitments—Credit Facilities—Credit and Guaranty Agreement.” If our shareholders default on their obligations under the terms of the Sponsor Financing, including if they
fail to cause us to comply with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Sponsor Financing will be entitled to certain remedies, including declaring all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable and
ultimately, foreclosing on the pledged shares. Foreclosing on the pledged shares may cause the lenders under the Sponsor Financing to sell securities of our company or the market to perceive that they intend to do so, which may cause the market
price of our class A shares to decline significantly.

 2

 In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein), at any time
beginning 180 days following the closing of this offering, subject to several exceptions, certain of our existing shareholders will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their ordinary shares under the
Securities Act. See “Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.” Following completion of this offering, the shares covered by demand registration rights would represent approximately% of our outstanding ordinary shares
assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional class A shares. By exercising their demand registration rights and selling a large number of shares, such existing shareholders could cause the prevailing market price of
our class A shares to decline.

 As restrictions on resale end, or if existing shareholders exercise their registration rights, the market
price of our class A shares could decline significantly if we or our existing shareholders sell securities of our company or the market perceives that we or our existing shareholders intend to do so.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 We
estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately US$[•] million, or
US$[•] million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional class A shares in full. These amounts assume an initial public offering price of US$[•] per class A share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us.

 We will use the net proceeds from this offering
to fund the repayment in full by our shareholders of their Sponsor Financing (approximatelycontribute US$[•] million) as part of our acquisition of the 21.2% interest in to Auna Salud S.A.C., who will in turn use those funds to effect a capital reduction which will result in the cancellation of [•]% of shares in it held by Heredia Investments, as further described below, and the remainder to repay US$[•] million of indebtedness under our Term Loans (as defined herein and further described below) and for other general corporate purposes.

We are not a party to the Sponsor Financing. However, our shareholders are required under the terms of the Sponsor Financing to repay the
Sponsor Financing with proceeds they receive from an equity offering by us (through a dividend or, loan or other payment from the proceeds of that offering, or through a
secondary sale of shares in us by our shareholders). To facilitate a portion of that repayment, on the closing date of this offering, we will usecontribute US$[•] million of the proceeds from this offering to loan funds (the “Heredia Loan”) to Heredia InvestmentsAuna Salud S.A.C., who will in turn use those funds to repay all amounts
outstanding under the Sponsor Financing and as a result
thereof, the documents governing the Sponsor
Financing will be terminated. Immediately after the Sponsor Financing is repaid in full and the documents governing the Sponsor Financing are
terminated, we will acquireeffect a capital reduction which will result in the cancellation of [•]% of its shares held by Heredia Investments by way of a merger of Heredia Investments into Auna Salud
S.A.C. As a consequence of the merger, we will own 100% of Auna Salud S.A.C. and assume the indebtedness under the Heredia Loan (which
indebtedness will be eliminated upon consolidation). Other than its 21.2%and thus, increase
our interest in Auna Salud S.A.C. and its obligations under the Heredia Loan,from [•]% to [•]%. Heredia Investments will
not have any other material assets or liabilities at the time of the merger.use the funds it receives
from Auna Salud
S.A.C. to repay US$[•]
million outstanding under the Sponsor Financing and in connection therewith, the documents governing the Sponsor Financing will be amended.

 The Offering, page 27

4.
 We note your disclosure here and throughout the prospectus discussing your directed share program. Please
revise your risk factors to discuss that the disclosure in your prospectus, including your beneficial ownership table on page 176, assumes that no class A shares are purchased pursuant to the directed share program and the risks related to this
program, including that your directors, officers, employees and other affiliates may participate in this program resulting in further concentration of beneficial ownership and control than is reflected in this prospectus. Additionally, where you
discuss the directed share program, please expand your disclosure to address the process that prospective participants will follow to participate in the program, the manner in which you will communicate with participants and determine the amount
each will receive, when and how you will determine the allocation for the program, and whether such allocation will change depending on the interest level of potential participants, as well as any other material features of the program.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 62 of the revised Registration
Statement under the heading “Following the completion of the offering, Enfoca, our controlling shareholder, will own approximately    % of our class B shares and    % of our class A shares and
certain of our officers and a majority of our directors may be employed by or otherwise affiliated with Enfoca, which could give rise to potential conflicts of interest with them and certain of our other shareholders,” to clarify that the
amounts held by Enfoca and Mr. Pinillos Casabonne assume no acquisition of class A shares pursuant to the Directed Share Program.

 The Company
respectfully advises the Staff that while the Company expects to allocate up to 5% of the class A shares sold in the offering to the Directed Share Program, the Company does not expect that participation by its directors and officers to meaningfully
concentrate beneficial ownership in the hands of such directors and officers given the significant ownership of Enfoca and Mr. Pinillos Casabonne and the dual-class structure of the Company’s shares.

In addition, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 63 of the revised Registration Statement under the headings “You may not be able to sell
class A shares you own at the time or the price you desire because an active or liquid market for these securities may not develop” and “Substantial sales of class A shares after this offering could cause the price of our class A shares to
decrease” to disclose the potential impacts of the Directed Share Program on the price and liquidity of the class A shares.

 The Company respectfully
advises the Staff that the mechanics of the Directed Share Program will follow standard market practice and that the disclosure on pages 27, 191 and 219 of the revised Registration Statement has been revised to provide that the Directed Share
Program will be administered by an affiliate of Morgan Stanley (the “DSP Administrator”) and to describe material features of the Directed Share Program, including the process related thereto.

To date, the Company has not provided any materials to potential investors in the Directed Share Program. After filing of the preliminary prospectus with the
Commission and launch of the initial public offering, the Company intends to send an e-mail communication regarding the Directed Share Program to certain directors, executive officers, consultants, employees
and other individuals associated with the Company. The communication will provide basic information about the Directed Share Program, including a clear statement that there is no obligation to participate in the Directed Share Program and buy class
A shares. The Company will provide a list of these potential

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission

January 25, 2024

participants to the DSP Administrator. The DSP Administrator will then contact these potential participants by e-mail with instructions on how to access a
secure website operated by the DSP Administrator, which will outline the procedures for participating in the Directed Share Program. Participants may only participate through an account custodied with the DSP Administrator (either an existing or new
account).

 After a subscription period, during which potential participants indicate how many class A shares they would like to purchase, the Company will
allocate class A shares among participants. The allocation will be at the Company’s sole discretion and will remain within the size reserved for the Directed Share Program as disclosed in the preliminary prospectus. On the evening of pricing,
each participant will be prompted to return to the secure website operated by the DSP Administrator to confirm the class A shares allocated to them at the initial public offering price; it is up to each participant whether to purchase any, all or
any portion of the class A shares allocated to them. Once allocations are confirmed, participants must deliver payment to the DSP Administrator for the applicable number of class A shares.

Communications from the Company and the DSP Administrator regarding the Directed Share Program will comply with Rule 134 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
including the appropriate legends.

Financing to repay the Sponsor Financing with proceeds they receive from an equity offering by us,” and that, “[t]o facilitate that repayment, we will acquire Heredia Investments by way of a merger of Heredia Investments into Auna Salud.
As a consequence of the merger, Auna Salud will assume the Sponsor Financing and, in turn, Auna will use the proceeds from this offering to repay all amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Financing.” Please revise your disclosure related to

documents governing the Sponsor Financing will be terminated. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has concluded that it is not required to file the documents governing the Sponsor

agreements as exhibits to your registration statement. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 68 of the revised Registration Statement to specify
that immediately after the Sponsor Financing is repaid in full and the documents governing the Sponsor Financing are terminated, the Company will acquire Heredia Investments by way of a merger of Heredia Investments into Auna Salud S.A.C. pursuant
to a merger agreement (the “Heredia Merger Agreement”). In connection therewith, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 191 of the revised Registration Statement to discuss the material terms of the Heredia Merger Agreement and has
filed a form of the Heredia Merger Agreement as Exhibit 10.33 to the revised Registration Statement.

 We note that as a result of the merger, you will assume the Sponsor Financing. Given that you are anticipated

also revise your risk factors accordingly.

8.We have reviewed your response to prior comment 15 and note that 220,411,000 soles is
pending collection mainly due to the process with the third-party insurance and
institutional providers and that you also have not identified any impairment indicators. We
further note the detailed process which can cause a lengthening of the time it takes to
collect accounts receivable and that your accounts receivable for payments from the third-
party insurance and institutional providers are typically collected on an average of 41 days
in Mexico, 114 days in Peru and 149 days in Colombia. We note, however, that certain of
your June 30, 2023 accounts receivable are at least 283 days past due, 373 days past due,
and 552 days past due, as of January 8, 2024, significantly greater than your average
collection periods. We also note your 2023 loss for impairment of trade receivables of
3,383,000 soles is not significant relative to 2023 total revenue and trade accounts
receivable as of September 30, 2023. Please clarify for us with greater specificity the
recent procedures you have undertaken to evaluate the collectability of accounts
receivable that were past due by more than 283 days and how you determined that there
are no impairment indicators. In addition, please clarify for us the extent to which you
consider the length of time an account has been past due to be an indicator of impairment
and describe to us your recent history for collecting accounts that are significantly past
due.
Exhibits
9.We note that you have removed the placeholder from your exhibit index for the "Opinion
of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, U.S. counsel to Auna S.A., regarding certain U.S. tax
matters." However, you disclose on page 207 that "[t]he following section is the opinion
of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to
U.S. Holders." Please file the short- or long-form opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP
as an exhibit to your registration statement. See Section III.B. of Staff Legal Bulletin 19,
available on our public website.
10.We note the assumptions in paragraph 3 of exhibit 5.1, including: "that the issuance of the
Shares will be made out of the authorized share capital pursuant to resolutions to be taken
by the board of directors of the Company on or about the date of issuance of the shares
(the Share Capital Increase) conditional to the Shares being fully paid-up." The staff
considers it inappropriate for counsel to include in its opinion assumptions that are overly
broad, that "assume away" the relevant issue, or that assume any of the material facts
underlying the opinion or any readily ascertainable facts. In this regard, please have
counsel revise or remove the statement noted above so that the opinion does not "assume
away" any of the material facts underlying the opinion or any readily ascertainable facts.

 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Division of Corporation Finance

 Office of Industrial
Applications and Services

 100 F Street, N.E.

 Washington,
D.C. 20549

 Attn:  Jessica Ansart

Katherine Bagley

 Dear Ms. Ansart and
Ms. Bagley:

 On behalf of our client, Auna S.A. (the “Company”), we are responding to the comments from the Staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the Company’s Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated December 29, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”). In response to the comments set forth in the Comment Letter, the Company has revised the Draft Registration Statement and
is publicly filing it as a Registration Statement together with this response letter. The Registration Statement also contains certain additional updates and revisions.

As noted in the Registration Statement, the Company intends to effect a reverse stock split ahead of the initial public offering. That stock split has not yet
been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, but will be approved ahead of the offering. The Company will reflect that change in its financial statements retrospectively in a future filing of the Registration Statement.

Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. For convenience, the Staff’s comments are repeated below in italics,
followed by the Company’s response to the comments as well as a summary of the responsive actions taken. We have included page numbers to refer to the location in the revised draft of the Registration Statement where the revised language
addressing a particular comment appears.

 In addition, we note that we have filed forms of the opinions of Luxembourg counsel as to the validity of the
class A shares and regarding certain Luxembourg tax matters. We will file final signed versions of the opinions once we have the final number of class A shares.

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission

January 8, 2024

 Finally, as discussed with the Staff via telephone, we respectfully note that the Company is hoping to
commence its roadshow on or about between January 25 and January 29. We greatly appreciate the Staff’s assistance in light of this timing.

Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Cover page

1.
 We note your response to comment 2 that the company intends to amend its existing articles of
association in connection with the initial public offering, and in connection therewith, it expects class A shares to be low-vote shares and class B shares to be high- vote shares. We also note your revised
disclosure that class A and class B shareholders will vote together as a single class. Please revise the disclosure on your cover page to disclose, as you do elsewhere, that given the voting control of the class B shares, investors in this offering
will have little to no influence on corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including, for example, decision making with respect to your business direction, the election and removal of directors and fixing of directors’
compensation and amendments to your articles of association.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company
has revised the disclosure on the cover page to reflect the fact that the class A shareholders will have little to no influence on corporate matters for the foreseeable future, as well as the matters that they will not be able to control. The
disclosure that has been added is consistent with the disclosure that was added on former pages 20, 50, 51, 164, 165 and 167 of the Draft Registration Statement in response to prior comment 2.

Summary

 The Auna Way, page 1

2.
 We note your response to comment 5 and we reissue the comment. The disclosure in the summary should be a
balanced presentation of your business. Please balance the description of “The Auna Way,” your competitive strengths and key strategies with equally prominent disclosure of the challenges you face and the risks and limitations that could
harm your business or inhibit your strategic plans. For example, but without limitation, revise your disclosure to also discuss challenges related to integrating businesses you have recently acquired or will acquire, such as increased costs,
building and maintaining your brand’s reputation and your substantial indebtedness.

 Response: In response to the
Staff’s comment, the Company has further revised the disclosure throughout the summary, competitive strengths, strategies and other sections (including on pages 1 to 4, 8, 11 to 18, 21, 74, 75, 130, 131, 133 and 148 to 154) to reflect several
of the challenges, limitations and risks that the Company faces, including cross-references to the “Risk Factors” section where appropriate. The Company has also included two new full paragraphs in the summary on pages 2 and 21 to further
describe the challenges, limitations and risks the Company faces, including a long paragraph at the end of the very first section of the Summary (the “Auna Way” section) on page 2 to address the Staff’s comment. In addition to the
changes that were made on former pages 1 to 15, 62, 63 and 114 to 134 in the prior Draft Registration Statement, these changes were made to highlight the challenges related to integrating businesses the Company has recently acquired, including
increased costs, building and maintaining the reputation of the Company’s brands and the Company’s substantial indebtedness, as well as many other risks and challenges.

 We note your response to comment 7 and we reissue the comment in part. Please address the following issues
related to the description of your business throughout your prospectus summary:

•

 You state here and throughout the registration statement that you provide “affordable
healthcare plans” and that your plans in Peru are “moderately priced and innovative plans.” We also note your revised disclosure that monthly costs of your mono-risk oncology plans start
“as low as S/33.0 per month, which is generally within reach of the vast majority of Peruvians based on average income.” Please revise your disclosure to clarify the basis of your statement that the price of
your plans is “generally within reach of the vast majority of Peruvians.” Please also revise to include a detailed discussion of the pricing of your plans and to explain why they are considered innovative and
unique.

•

 We note your disclosure on page 3 that you offer a vertically integrated portfolio of “mono-risk”
plans and selected general healthcare plans. Please revise to explain the principal differences between a mono-risk plan and a general healthcare plan, including whether the plans target different pools of customers and to discuss the principal
reasons why customers choose one or both plans. Additionally, we note that a significant focus of your business is on prevention. Please clarify whether customers who enroll in a mono-risk plan such as an oncology plan are individuals with a family
or personal history of cancer and whether an individual with a cancer diagnosis may enroll in an oncology plan. Please also discuss what types of care are covered by mono-risk plans, including whether there is a focus on prevention versus
treatment.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 3 and 132 to
disclose that the basis for the statement that the Company’s plans are “generally within reach of a significant portion of Peruvians” is the average monthly income and minimum wage in Peru which were S/2,723 and S/1,025, respectively,
as of September 30, 2023. Moreover, the Company has revised the disclosure itself to say that the plans are within the reach of “many Peruvians” instead of “a significant portion.” In addition, the Company has revised the
disclosure on pages 3, 10, 132 and 147 to disclose how the pricing and structure of such plans are unique, including its ability to offer standardized care across its network through an integrated solution that covers all aspects of patient care
(from preventative care to treatment) in contrast to the fragmented services that are offered by its competitors. Further, and in addition to the disclosure that was added on former pages 2 and 115 in response to comment 7, the Company has revised
the disclosure on pages 3 and 132 to explain the differences between the mono-risk plan and the general healthcare plans, including the different target customers for each plan, the reasons that customers may choose such plans, whether someone with
a pre-existing condition can enroll in the plans, and what types of care are covered by mono-risk plans, including their focus on preventative care.

4.
 We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 8 and throughout your filing, including references to
“high-quality” care, services, and “patient outcomes.” Please revise your filing to discuss how you measure “quality,” including with respect to care, services, and patient outcomes. As a related matter, where you note
that you achieve “excellent” and “effective” patient outcomes, please clarify how you define these terms.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included new disclosure on page v to disclose how the Company uses certain quality
and safety indicators to measure “quality” and its “excellent” and “effective” patient outcomes and how the Company compares its performance to

 U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission

 4

January 8, 2024

applicable international benchmarks. Specifically, the Company discloses that it looks to a variety of quality and patient safety indicators that are commonly used in the healthcare services
industry, including safety and hygiene metrics and net promoter score. In addition, the Company discloses that it compares itself to certain international definitions of these indicators, including definitions referenced by the Centers for Disease
Control of the United States, the World Health Organization and the Joint Commission of the United States and regularly exceeds international benchmarks. Furthermore, the Company revised many of the disclosures in the registration statement where it
mentioned its “high-quality” care and services and the “excellent” and “effective” patient outcomes to make clear that those statements reflect the Company’s beliefs.

Furthermore, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that we reviewed public filings of certain U.S. healthcare companies that use “high-quality”
and also descriptive terms describing “outcomes” and other similar terms in their filings to describe their services, and we were unable to find any related definitions used by those companies in their applicable filings. As a result, the
Company is unaware of any international industry standards to define those terms and therefore must rely on the metrics noted above to support its belief that it provides high-quality care and services which lead to excellent or effective patient
outcomes.

 Our History, page 3

5.
 We note your response to comment 9 and your revised disclosure on page 6 discussing your indebtedness.
Please revise to briefly highlight the risks to your business and operations related to your significant indebtedness, and include a cross-reference to your risk factor on page 40 discussing risks related to your indebtedness.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure that was added on page 8 in response
to prior comment 9 to explain the risks to the Company’s business and operations related to its significant indebtedness, as well as a cross-reference to the risk factor on page 49 discussing risks related to its indebtedness.

Our Future, page 12

 We note your response to comment 11, including your revised disclosure on pages 3 and 116 and we reissue the
comment. Please revise your disclosure here and in your Business section to address specific challenges you may face growing this small platform focused on providing dental and vision plans to a larger platform providing both general healthcare and
specialized plans in Mexico.

plans." We also note your revised disclosure that monthly costs of your mono-risk
oncology plans start "as low as S/33.0 per month, which is generally within reach of

a significant focus of your business is on prevention. Please clarify whether
customers who enroll in a mono-risk plan such as an oncology plan are individuals
with a family or personal history of cancer and whether an individual with a cancer
diagnosis may enroll in an oncology plan. Please also discuss what types of care are
covered by mono-risk plans, including whether there is a focus on prevention versus
treatment.
4.We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 8 and throughout your filing,

responsive to our comment.  Please provide us with your explanation of why it is
appropriate to compare the survival statistics of your cohort of individuals diagnosed
between 2005 and 2016, with statistics disclosed for the U.S. and U.K., given that these
statistics appear to relate to a different time period and are in different geographic
locations, or remove these comparisons from your disclosure.  As a related matter, we
note your disclosure throughout the filing that "our approach results in a 74% 5-year
survival rate for our oncology plans, which is above the national average in both the U.S.
and England." Please clarify how you calculated this survival rate, as it appears to be a
different percentage than that disclosed in this section. Please also explain why the
comparison to U.S. and England is appropriate, given that the survival rate is based on
different populations in different geographic locations, or remove this disclosure from the
filing.  Alternatively, please revise to make it clear that your disclosure does not compare
Oncosalud's 5-year cancer survival rate with comparable oncological facilities, and place
these selected disclosures in appropriate context by discussing factors such as the
prevalence of certain cancers, and different access to healthcare in different jurisdictions
that would be expected to impact this percentage.
