Overview
- Preliminary data show Incluir Salud paid ARS 13,500,176 in August 2025 for PEG Asparaginasa versus ARS 8,274,027 paid by the Health Ministry a year earlier, a 27% premium after adjusting for inflation.
- Both transactions were supplied by Droguería Suizo Argentina, a major distributor that holds multiple national contracts recorded on the COMPR.AR platform.
- The government presented the figure as its first official confirmation of overpricing since the scandal that prompted the removal of Diego Spagnuolo from ANDIS.
- Alejandro Vilches, formerly a senior Health Ministry official, was named interventor as the administration moves to place the agency under direct ministerial control.
- President Javier Milei dismissed Spagnuolo’s claims and said he would take the case to the courts, while authorities continue the procurement audit.
