>The Critical Situation of Hospitals in Argentina
>
>The Argentinian economy and therefore also the country's public
>health services have suffered extreme deterioration over the past
>years. In addition, the recent devaluation of the Argentine Peso
>has multiplied the cost of the mostly imported medicines and
>medical supplies. The reduction of governmental budgets directed
>to the public health compounds the issue. As a result of the gradual
>exhaustion of necessary supplies and little or no replenishment,
>medical treatment for most of the population in Argentina is
>possible for only the extreme and immediately life threatening
>cases. Those which do not fall into this category are very often
>deprived of necessary attention and vital medicines.
