The initiative is from Lammens and the radical legislator Manuela Thourte. The UBA has six highly complex teaching hospitals.
The legislator Matías Lammens presented a bill, co-authored by the radical legislator Manuela Thourteso that the City of Buenos Aires make the payment of a contribution to the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) for each medical care provided to residents in CABA without medical coverage in the facilities of the University Hospital Network and the Dental Hospital. The initiative is known in advance of the federal march, in protest of Javier Milei’s announced veto of the University Financing Law.
According to the proposal, the amount of the contribution to be made for each medical care will be agreed upon between the Executive Branch and the UBA, according to the type of practice and the medical supplies used. The Legislator Graciela Ocaña (Public Confidence) has already joined the initiative.
“The UBA has an importance for the City that has to be recognized, we must put on the table what it means for the City to have one of the best universities in Latin America. That is why it is logical that the City makes a contribution, which on the other hand side corresponds because these hospitals care for Buenos Aires residents, and they should not sit idly by,” Lammens said.
For his part, Thourte said: “Public investment in health has to be a priority. The UBA hospitals are synonymous with excellence and benchmarks both in our country and in the entire region, which is why we must defend them.”
“The task of guaranteeing access to a free, quality public health service could hardly be fully carried out without the fundamental support that university hospitals provide to the health system in Buenos Aires territory,” is the basis of the bill that has already gained accessions. from different political spaces represented in the Buenos Aires Legislature.
With his six teaching hospitals Highly complex and with cutting-edge technology, which are benchmarks both in Argentina and in the region, the UBA serves more than 780 thousand patients a year.
