Friday, July 4, 2025 - The Peruvian clinic that treated Colombian mega-star Shakira for an abdominal condition in February has been fined $190,000 over the leaking of her medical record.
The 48-year-old four-time Grammy-winning Colombian
singer-songwriter was rushed to hospital with an unspecified abdominal ailment
back in February.
Two days later, she was back on stage in the Peruvian
capital.
Shortly after her brief hospitalization, her medical report
appeared on social media, sparking widespread outrage among fans and an
official investigation.
The Delgado Auna clinic, where she was treated, said at the
time it was investigating what it called a "serious ethical breach of our
code of conduct and regulations governing personal data processing."
Susalud, which oversees Peru's health-care industry, said
Wednesday it imposed a fine of 668,750 soles ($188,355) on the Auna-controlled
Delgado Clinic. Located in Lima, the private hospital is popular with the
country's elites and its main location is in the wealthy neighborhood of
Miraflores, where it boasts a helicopter landing pad.
