The Government of Javier Milei launched the documentary “The Heroes of Garrahan” this Thursday, a video that aims to highlight the great work of the doctors and workers of the Garrahan Hospital who maintained healthcare despite a hostile context marked by union strikes and protests from Kirchnerism throughout 2025.
The audiovisual piece reconstructs the episodes of tension that the country's main pediatric center went through from the perspective of those who, within the hospital itself, decided not to adhere to the strikes promoted by political sectors.
Through testimonies from members of the Board of Directors and various areas, the documentary highlights the commitment of these professionals, whom the Government emphasizes as the true heroes who upheld the system in critical moments.
The narrative is supported by archival material that reflects the intensity of the conflict: according to official data, over 40 union actions were recorded during the year, including partial strikes, 24, 48, and 72-hour strikes, as well as “symbolic hugs,” noise protests, festivals at the hospital entrance, open radios that blocked access, mobilizations, and permanent assemblies. In this context, the production suggests that the repetition of these measures affected the normal functioning of the establishment.
