Today, we went on a walking tour of the city, in which we saw many palaces and the Recoleta neighborhood. The neighborhood is really nice, clean, and pretty wealthy. It has many historical palaces and other buildings. In Recoleta, there is the Recoleta Cemetery, which is one of the most famous cemeteries in the world. There are many lavish graves, and it is truly crazy how much time and money people spend on the dead (one grave was up to $6 million dollars)! Then we went to the museum centered around the life and work of Eva Perrone, the second and most influential wife of the former president, Juan Peron. Eva is buried at Recoleta Cemetery after dying at 33 from uterine cancer. Her and Peron introduced and ran the country off of the premise of Peronism, a political ideology centered around the policies and legacy of Argentine leader Juan Domingo Perón and his wife Eva, has had a profound impact on the organization of the Argentine healthcare system. Emerging in the mid-20th century, Peronism advocated for social justice, labor rights, and a strong welfare state, including significant reforms in healthcare. Under Peronism, the Argentine healthcare system underwent a transformation aimed at ensuring access to healthcare services for all citizens, particularly the working class and marginalized communities. Eva Perón played a crucial role in spearheading healthcare initiatives, notably through her creation of the Eva Perón Foundation, which provided medical assistance, housing, and other social services to the poor. One of the most significant legacies of Peronism in Argentine healthcare is the establishment of a universal healthcare system. Perón’s government implemented policies that expanded access to healthcare services by nationalizing hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities, thereby ensuring that healthcare was not solely accessible to the wealthy elite but to all citizens regardless of socioeconomic status. Furthermore, Peronism emphasized preventive healthcare measures and public health education, aiming to improve overall health outcomes and reduce disparities. Eva Perón’s advocacy for women’s rights also led to advancements in maternal and child healthcare, including access to prenatal care and support for mothers and children. They also created the nursing school. In modern day, the policies that they put in place do not work well.
