Outrageous: left-handed individuals steal half of the funds raised for Garrahan

They say it's for 'workers' actions,' that is, picket lines

After weeks of protests by Kirchnerists that endangered the lives of hundreds of children at the Garrahan Hospital, the activists made headlines again, this time for an outrageous act.

The demonstrations took place inside the pediatric health center where extremely complex medical procedures are carried out that can't be interrupted without affecting the lives of the patients.

The institution had to issue a statement expressing that its medical teams were working with maximum concentration and commitment to maintain the normal operation of the hospital, despite the disturbances caused by the "K" at the entrance. "Our priority is the health of the children," they stated.

It is worth noting that the National Government began to take measures to restore order in the institution, which unleashed the fury of the paid activists.

Among other decisions, the National Ministry of Health, led by Mario Lugones, activated a mandatory biometric system to register staff entry. This is a measure to prevent unjustified absences and verify that human resources are fulfilling real functions. It also allows for cross-referencing data to improve budget allocation.

Meanwhile, the Executive ordered the re-bidding of the hospital's cleaning and security contracts. Both services had been managed by the same company for more than 20 years. For the authorities, it was an opaque fund without state oversight.

Garrahan has more than 5,000 employees, a figure similar to that of the National Highway Administration. However, only 300 of them are practicing physicians who provide care to children. This data was provided by Federico Sturzenegger in a recent interview.

The leftists keep half of what they collect for Garrahan

In recent days, a video began circulating of an event in which activists openly state that they will keep half of what is collected for Garrahan Hospital.

They say it openly. "Of the total collected, $3,240,000 will go to the Garrahan struggle fund and to the workers' managements. That would be $1,620,000 and $1,620,000 for the workers of the workers' managements," said the activist.

For picketers. Incredible. They collect for the hospital and keep half!

Unbelievable ideological expenses by Kirchnerism at Garrahan

Meanwhile, while unions demand salary increases and denounce a lack of resources, a series of expenses at Garrahan Hospital have come to light that are difficult to justify, related to the creation of ideological committees and "symbolic" actions unrelated to the healthcare role of the country's main pediatric center.

In recent years, under Kirchnerist administrations, Garrahan has allocated, and continues to allocate, funds and institutional structure to initiatives that have little or nothing to do with quality medical care.

Among them, the formation of committees such as "Gender and Diversity Assistance" and "Different Sexual Development" stands out, spaces with dozens of members from various medical and non-medical areas, from endocrinology to mental health and social services.
