El ministro de Salud bonaerense, Nicolás Kreplak, acusó públicamente al Gobierno que encabeza Javier Milei de retener seis angiógrafos que estaban destinados a distintos centros de salud públicos de la provincia.

Overview

  • Nicolás Kreplak alleges that six angiographs purchased under the 2021 Proyecto de Respuesta Inmediata de Salud Pública were withheld following the Milei administration’s January 2025 deliveries.
  • The disputed devices were earmarked for six provincial hospitals—including Tetamanti de Mar del Plata and San Felipe de San Nicolás—where installation infrastructure was completed.
  • Vice Minister Cecilia Loccisano contends that all units were delivered under the PROSEPU II program and cites a January installation at Hospital San Martín de La Plata.
  • Kreplak released UNGM tender notices and Boletín Oficial records to substantiate his claim of diverted GE Innova IGS 530 devices.
  • No mediation has been announced and the standoff highlights ongoing tensions between provincial and national authorities over pandemic-era health investments.
