Overview

  • The increase, reported by some as 61%, applies to base pay for staff on payroll, public employment contracts, fellows, and residents with Institutional Scholarships under Administrative Decision 29/2025.
  • Payments will include retroactive amounts to October, with the hospital advancing funds while awaiting national transfers, and staff are expected to see the impact in the coming days.
  • Fixed monthly bonuses granted in September of AR$450,000 for clinical staff and AR$350,000 for non-clinical staff remain in effect, bringing the estimated take-home gain to roughly 35–40%.
  • Unions APyT and ATE hailed the outcome as a historic victory after months of strikes, marches, and assemblies, describing it as a partial implementation of the Pediatrics Emergency Law.
  • The Council of Administration and the Medical Director said they will not receive the 61% increase as a gesture of austerity, a move publicly praised by Health Minister Mario Lugones.
