Today was an eventful day yet again, now exploring the history of Argentina through museums like the Evita museum and a walking tour of Recoleta ending in the cemetery. This historical context is critical to the understanding of the Argentinean healthcare system, especially through the role of General Juan Peron and Evita to the development of the healthcare system in Argentina as we know it today, with emphasis on the public sector and unions. At the end of World War II, there was a key turning point where Juan Peron took charge and ushered Argentina into a new era. This pivotal time for Argentina’s labor movements consisted of Juan Peron renewing industrialist ideologies and shifting the people of Argentina away from Communism. Juan Peron’s relationship with the trade unions was an alliance that altered the future of labor movements permanently. Peron improved worker concessions to bolster industrialization and mitigate workers concerns. Trade union mobilization not only increased worker’s profits and privileges, but also the sheer strength and density of the unions themselves. Peron also reformed the regulation process for labor transactions, and made the process more intertwined with governmental regulations. Peron’s most notable contribution to modern Argentine industry is his contributions to trade unions, and in turn the Obras Sociales social security system. Trade unionism in Argentina is directly linked to healthcare practices and outcomes, since the unions that were strengthened provided workers with healthcare access. Obras sociales are funded by employers and the state, and regulated by unions, with the primary objective of providing and maintaining healthcare services, even including building hospitals and clinics. Ultimately, these institutions are the scaffolding of Argentina’s social security and healthcare systems, and their strength and ability to withstand the test of time pays homage to the impact of General Juan Peron’s ideologies and impact on the social and governance structures of Argentina.
