Grupo Elías: $1,409 million Government spending in the province of Buenos Aires not only grew at a rapid pace, but also became a central tool of Kicillof's political strategy in the midst of the electoral race.
The objective is to guarantee media presence and political protection in the midst of a severe crisis of insecurity in the Buenos Aires territory, in addition to the disastrous local management in the
area of health and education.Garrahan Hospital, a reference for pediatric health in Argentina, serves thousands of children from all over the country, many from the province of Buenos Aires. The default in IOMA payments affects the hospital's ability to purchase essential supplies and maintain critical treatments
.
The investment of the Milei Government
On the contrary, the Government of Javier Milei presented images that showed the regrettable state in which Garrahan Hospital was at the time of taking office. As a result, it announced an investment of close to $30 billion for new equipment and expansion works, made possible by the new administration's efficient use of resources
.During a press conference, presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni explained that these funds will be used to purchase a pediatric linear accelerator, the only one of its kind in Latin America, which will allow children with cancer to be treated in a more precise and less invasive way. Investment will also be made in expanding the bone marrow transplant area, with the goal of allowing patients to receive complex treatments without having to travel outside the country
.The investment will also include the reopening of four operating rooms, which will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology; the purchase of an ambulance; the renovation of 400 stretchers and wheelchairs, many with more than 30 years of use; as well as the purchase of renal and liver infusion machines and new equipment for sterilization, imaging, pharmacy and laboratory.
