The display of the Kirchnerist government's debt on the Garrahan screens thus became a symbolic measure aimed at focusing attention on the financial situation and the responsibility of the province of Buenos Aires in sustaining the healthcare system.
Milei Government's investment
At the beginning of the month, the Milei Government presented images showing the deplorable condition in which Garrahan Hospital was found at the time of taking office. Consequently, it announced an investment of nearly 30,000 million pesos aimed at new equipment and expansion works, made possible by the efficiency in resource management of the new administration.
During a press conference, Adorni detailed that these funds will be allocated to the acquisition of a pediatric linear accelerator, unique in Latin America, which will allow more precise and less invasive treatment of children with cancer. There will also be investment in the expansion of the bone marrow transplant area, with the goal of enabling patients to receive complex treatments without having to travel abroad.
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 acquisition of renal and hepatic perfusion machines and new equipment for sterilization, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy, and laboratory.
