Overview
- Decrees 759/2025 and 760/2025 were published in the Boletín Oficial, formally promulgating Laws 27.795 (university financing) and 27.796 (pediatric emergency).
- The Government suspended their application under Article 5 of Law 24.629, arguing execution must wait until Congress defines explicit financing and appropriations.
- Official estimates put the university law’s cost at roughly ARS 1.07 trillion in 2025 and over ARS 2 trillion in 2026, with the pediatric emergency at about ARS 196 billion.
- University unions launched a national 48‑hour strike for Oct. 21–22 and health and public-sector groups rallied, including actions linked to Hospital Garrahan.
- The statutes mandate salary recomposition, inflation-linked budget updates, expanded scholarships and research funding, and designate Garrahan as a national pediatric reference, with external oversight by the Auditoría General de la Nación.
