Overview

• The plan adds a pediatric linear accelerator, described as the first of its kind in a Latin American pediatric hospital, to deliver more precise, less invasive cancer treatment.
• The bone‑marrow transplant inpatient unit will be expanded to increase complex therapies and avoid costly referrals abroad.
• Four closed operating rooms will be reopened with new surgical equipment, and an ECMO‑equipped ambulance will handle critical transfers from Greater Buenos Aires and airports.
• The investment includes replacing 400 beds, stretchers and wheelchairs and purchasing renal and hepatic perfusion machines, plus upgrades for sterilization, imaging, pathology, laboratory, microbiology and pharmacy.
• Officials reconfirmed a permanent monthly pay supplement for medical and administrative staff and stressed there will be no additional central transfers, with the announcement coming a day after the Senate rejected President Javier Milei’s veto on the Pediatric Emergency law.
