Argentina Dissolves Disability Agency ANDIS, Moves Functions to Health Ministry and Extends Emergency to 2026

Congress's Permanent Bicameral Commission will review the decree's validity.

Overview

  • DNU 942/2025, published in the Boletín Oficial, disbands ANDIS and folds its functions into a National Secretariat for Disability within the Ministry of Health.
  • The Health Ministry becomes the legal and administrative successor, assuming personnel, assets, obligations and budget credits to maintain uninterrupted services.
  • The decree extends the national disability-related health emergency through December 31, 2026.
  • The government cites an intervention report outlining serious contracting irregularities, weak internal controls and fragmented IT that risked the CUD, non-contributory pensions and access to high-cost medicines.
  • The measure amends the Law of Ministries to expand Health's authority over disability policy, including pension audits and coordination on the National Registry of Chemical Precursors with the Security Ministry.
