Today was a very busy day, with a lot of travel and information. First, we went to Medife, which was a very powerful private insurance company, with its own private hospital, which is also called Medife, and ASE, which is a very big obras sociales union. ASE provides health service and manages contributions from company management, as well as insuring medical coverage anywhere in Argentina. They have a board of directors that has representatives of the main companies in Argentina, and they have a very wide range of medical coverage. The actual company of Medife is a national prepaid medicine company with 600 branches and 300,000 associates. They have nationwide services, providing services such as commercial and marketing, medical services, strategy management, human resources, and customer services. They have a clientele consisting of volunteers, the workforce, and older folks that receive social security benefits. Healthcare wise, the services they provide are outpatient medical care, hospitalization, emergency services, dental care, medication, telemedicine, home & disability, mental health, and international care. Then, we went to a Private cardiac hospital called ICBA, who’s vision is to make patients with cardiovascular affections live longer and better lives. Their values are patient experience, education, quality, innovation, and teamwork. The average length of stay is 2.3 days. After that, we went to the Malba museum, which is a prominent museum dedicated to showcasing Latin American art from the early 20th century to the present day. The museum’s collection includes works from renowned artists such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tarsila do Amaral, Joaquín Torres-García, and many others. Malba was founded by Argentine businessman Eduardo F. Costantini in 2001 with the aim of promoting Latin American art and providing a space for both locals and tourists to appreciate the region’s cultural heritage. The museum’s collection encompasses a wide range of artistic styles and mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations. In addition to its permanent collection, Malba hosts temporary exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and educational programs aimed at fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Latin American art. The museum’s striking architecture, designed by Argentine architect AFT Arquitectos, provides a modern and inviting space for visitors to explore and engage with the artworks on display. Overall, Malba serves as a vital cultural institution in Buenos Aires, contributing to the vibrant artistic landscape of the city and serving as a hub for celebrating the rich diversity of Latin American art and culture.
