Today is the last and final day of the trip. Yesterday since we didn’t blog, I’ll just do a quick fill in. So, we started the day later and but were still productive as we had our final presentations at the University of Austral. With so much information being given during lectures from very powerful…

Today, we had a late starting time with the museum visits, so I decided to adventure a bit considering there really is not much time left. I took a quick cab to the Japanese Garden, also known as Jardin Japones de Buenos Aires, which had plants, a pond with koi fish, an island with bridges…

We began the day, per usual very early in the morning with a jump start on a ride to Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos (Hospital Paroissien). This is a public hospital that is in Isidro Casanova, which is a part of La Matanza in Buenos Aires. It is completely funded and managed by the government…

Started off the day on the right foot with a nice bagel and short ride to have a lecture with Dr. Florencia Ledesma about Obras Social de Direccion, but more specifically about Medife and Ase Obras Social. Here we talked a lot about the specifics of this system and how these are mandatory contributory social…

We began our adventures today with a walking tour of Recoleta. We explored the beautiful parts, monuments, as well as some palaces. La Recoleta Cemetery one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, with about 4,600 vaults above ground, some in which contained National Historical monuments by the Argentine government that are protected…

Here he discussed a lot of major challenges that the hospital faces such as staffing shortages due to burnout and turnovers, emergency overload, patient volume and capacity, amongst other things like…

Hi all, back again with another day in the life in Buenos Aires. Today was definitely not planned as there was a general strike against Milei reforms, shutting down shops and our plans for the day. This is the second nationwide union strike since Milei came to power last December, laying off government workers and…

Today we began our daily adventures with a nice walk to the University of Austral where we met the province ministry of health, Dra. Josefina Medrano, who was the past minister of Health Province of Salta during the Covid-19 pandemic. We talked about the actions that she and her team took to ensure the people…

Today was an early riser, but much more than a successful day. Our first stop today was the Buenos Aires City Government with Dr. Daniel Ferrante who is the current deputy minister of health of CABA. Ferrante highlighted how the unions play a significant role in Argentina’s social safety net, especially during times of economic…

The trip started off a little rocky with our flight to Argentina being delayed by 12 hours resulting in a group adventure pulling an all-nighter in the Atlanta airport! Other than that “little” bump in the road, it felt so good to finally get to the city. We were welcomed into Buenos Aires with authentic…
