He Comprehensive Medical Care Program (PAMI) announced a series of modifications to the benefits it provides to retirees and pensioners affiliated with social work. Members will be able to access two free pairs of glasses per year, both for seeing near and far. This measure seeks to facilitate access to one of the benefits most requested by older adults, guaranteeing that they can maintain a good quality of life without incurring additional expenses.
Furthermore, with the recent change in management of Esteban LeguizamoPAMI implemented a variety of adjustments to its benefits. These modifications include the incorporation of new servicesas well as the suspension of coverage in at least 44 free medications.
