Government Raises Garrahan Pay After Deputies Reject Pediatric Emergency Veto

The step reflects a preference for targeted reallocations over immediate execution of emergency statutes.

Overview

  • Hospital Garrahan announced monthly supplements starting in September of $450,000 for health professionals and $350,000 for administrative staff.
  • The Health Ministry and hospital leadership said the hospital is not in emergency and credited the raises to administrative efficiencies, with coverage extended to all medical assistance staff.
  • The Chamber of Deputies voted to reject President Javier Milei’s veto of the pediatric emergency declaration, yet implementation still depends on further steps in the Senate and administration.
  • The government promulgated the Disability emergency law but suspended its execution until Congress defines financing and includes budget allocations, citing law 24.629.
  • Alongside the suspension, the administration granted ANDIS a $121,363,881,238 budget increase to fund provider updates from October 1, as opposition lawmakers moved to interpellate and seek a censure motion against Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos and filed criminal complaints at Comodoro Py.
