- EsSalud Arequipa acknowledged the exchange of newborns at Hospital III Yanahuara and said ELISA screening for the exposed infant and the biological parents was negative.
- The network’s Secretaría Técnica launched a preliminary disciplinary investigation to determine responsibility for the March incident.
- The Public Prosecutor opened a 60‑day preliminary case led by prosecutor Luis Del Carpio Iquira, with Yanahuara police tasked with gathering statements and records.
- The mother alleges she was not told of her HIV diagnosis during pregnancy, did not receive antiretroviral prevention measures, and learned her status two months after delivery at a Minsa clinic.
- Minsa requested urgent information, Defensoría del Pueblo and Susalud are involved, and a recent separate mix‑up at the same hospital has heightened concerns about verification procedures.
