Overview
- The anti-corruption prosecutor’s office, which entered the Almanzor Aguinaga hospital Tuesday, seized administrative records and inspected the cafeteria area with police support as part of an inquiry into possible collusion.
- Provincial prosecutor Magaly Quiroz is leading the investigation into suspected collusion or incompatible negotiation tied to the recent food-service concession.
- The concession, signed March 2 between EsSalud and Inversiones de Alimentos del Norte (also cited as Inversiones del Norte S.A.C.), granted a 127 m² space for three years for a monthly payment of 10,000 soles.
- Internal records report the hospital has been covering water and electricity because the cafeteria lacks its own meters, raising concerns about unaccounted costs.
- Media cite receipts showing menu prices above the contract’s caps and flag hygiene issues, and they report links between the concessionaire and Magda Sánchez Terán as well as ties to the Horna family, though prosecutors have not announced charges.
