Loccisano Resigns as Argentina’s Vice Health Minister, Government Names Guido Giana by Decree

A swift Decree 783/2025 naming Guido Giana underscores the consolidation of Minister Mario Lugones’s team.

Overview

  • Cecilia Loccisano announced her resignation on X, thanking President Javier Milei and Minister Mario Lugones and pledging to keep promoting a modern, less bureaucratic health system.
  • Decree 783/2025 in the Boletín Oficial formalized Guido Giana as secretary of Administrative Management and vice minister only hours after Loccisano’s post.
  • Mario Lugones publicly praised Loccisano’s work, as the change lands during a broader post‑election reconfiguration of the national cabinet.
  • Reporting from Loccisano’s circle links her exit to Guillermo Francos’s departure and describes frictions and a loss of trust with Lugones.
  • Giana is aligned with Lugones and adviser Santiago Caputo and brings management experience from Sanatorio Güemes, PAMI and the Buenos Aires city government.
