Healthcare in Argentina

Healthcare System in Argentina

The healthcare infrastructure in Argentina is overseen by the Ministry of Health and Social Action and made up of three main components—the public sector, the private sector and the Obras Sociales, an organization representing the Argentine’s work unions. The public sector is financed mainly through taxes and is generally available to all.

The private sector plays a great role in the healthcare system of Argentina as it covers approximately two million Argentines and represents over 200 medical facilities. The Obras Sociales is a system operated by health insurance funds for employees.



Quality of Healthcare in Argentina

The best medical care in Argentina can be found in the capital city of Buenos Aires, with high quality medical facilities and highly qualified physicians that have been trained abroad. Medical tourists can avail the finest surgical and wellness options utilizing the latest technology at fraction of the price.

However, the quality of health care will tend to differ out of the city. A lot of facilities, especially in the more rural areas, do not have up to date equipment on site and do not offer high quality services as compared to the urbanized cities.
