Overview

• Staff will receive monthly supplements starting in September of $450,000 for assistential workers and $350,000 for administrative employees, according to the hospital.
• The institution says the payments are financed with its own resources released through an internal efficiency and ordering plan, a move publicly praised by Health Minister Mario Lugones.
• Union leaders credit the supplements to sustained protests, call them a partial gain that does not fix core wage issues, and are maintaining a 48-hour strike.
• The duration remains uncertain, with hospital sources describing the plan as indefinite while notifications to workers indicate payments only through December, and some accounts citing four months.
• The announcement lands after Deputies voted to reject President Javier Milei’s veto of the pediatric emergency measure, as the government separately promulgated a disability law but suspended its execution pending funding and increased ANDIS’s budget, prompting opposition moves to question and potentially censure Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos.
