00:00In Argentina, the remains of Francisco Tenorio Sarqueira Jr., a Brazilian pianist who won

00:05missing in 1976, were identified in the city of Buenos Aires. After a 50-year investigation,

00:11the use of fingerprint analysis for confirmation of the body's identity

00:15resulted in the determination that the remains belonging to the

00:19epidemiology team emphasized that Francisco Tenorio Sarqueira Jr. was kidnapped on March 18, 1976,

00:31and two days later was shot and buried as unknown. Reports indicate that Tenorio's kidnapping was

00:39carried out, presumably by a task force belonging to the Argentine Navy, and that he was taken to

00:46the Navy's School of Mechanics, where he was tortured while Planned Condor was in progress.

00:56We continue in Argentina. The workers at the Garrahan Hospital continue their struggle against

01:01the policies of President Javier Milay's vetoes of laws that aim to defund education and public health.

01:07Our colleague Fabian Restivo gives us the details.

01:11The physicians at Garrahan Hospital continue their struggle, once again,

01:15President Javier Milay, has vetoed their budget, and they must continue the fight,

01:20but the professionals, together with patients and family members, have decided on another form of

01:25resistance, a party.

01:29We are celebrating that the hospital is still standing, and that all the people who organize

01:34this festival are workers who are dedicated to healthcare, and today we want to celebrate ourselves.

01:38The space was designed for children, to share and continue explaining and entertaining.

01:47Because I support Garrahan with all my heart. It touches me very closely. My niece was hospitalized

01:54there, and they saved her life. I went several times to perform at Garrahan at the kindergarten.

01:59I believe we have to support them with what we have with our tools. In my case as a clone. Those who can do

02:06something else, and so together we put our hearts into this, because what is happening is truly terrible.

02:13The question that needs to be asked is basic and urgent, what they expect from Wednesday's march.

02:18We expect a massive mobilization. We believe that there will be a huge response from society because

02:27they support the demand we are making and this time. We are also joining forces with the public

02:32university, which is another sector affected by the president policies, so we believe it will be a

02:38historic day, where it will be demonstrated that the vetoed party is the government, not Garrahan,

02:43not the university, and not public health. Among those present, there are some who have other reasons

02:50of their own. I am here primarily because Garrahan was everything to me. My son was ill and hospitalized

03:01in 1994. We transferred him from a private clinic to Garrahan. He was born in the capital, but due to

03:11medical malpractice, he ended up at Garrahan, thank God. At Garrahan, they did everything possible,

03:19and impossible to save him. He was in intensive care for seven months. He had a strong will to live.

03:28They didn't move him from the neonatal unit to pediatrics, and for the doctors it was encouraging

03:32to have someone who wanted to live beyond his diagnosis, which was terrible. I think that's

03:39something strong enough to always be present for everyone.

03:44So, what are the Garrahan professionals asking for? What do the Garrahan professionals want?

03:52We want to continue celebrating public health, continue celebrating our profession. We enjoy

03:57being involved in our work, being in the hospital, with the children we work with. I don't know if

04:02it's something we enjoy, being out on the streets fighting, but it makes us very proud. I mean,

04:07one thing doesn't contradict the other.

04:14The Argentine health care system is mixed, decentralized, and universal, comprising the

04:19public system, social security, and private health care. The public system functions as the cornerstone

04:25of care for vulnerable sectors, and has more than 1,500 hospitals, and 8,000 primary care centers.

04:32The Ministry of Health coordinates at the national level, while the 24 provincial jurisdictions are

04:38responsible for local management. Since Javier Milay took office in 2023, fiscal adjustment policies

04:47have been implemented, including budget cuts and vetoes on key public health legislation. For example,

04:53the veto of the pediatric health emergency law, approved by a majority in Congress,

04:58has halted essential budget increases for the Garrahan hospital, and other children's hospitals.

05:03This has resulted in a real decrease of 54% in the Garrahan budget in 2025, affecting the quality and

05:10capacity of care. The hospital has faced layoffs, resignations, wedge delays, and precarious working

05:17conditions, especially for medical residents, whose training has also been affected by resolution 2109 of 2025,

05:25which makes their working conditions precarious. These policies have led to protests and massive strikes

05:31by workers and professionals at Garrahan, as well as social mobilizations demanding the repeal of the

05:36vetoes, and greater investment in public health. These measures have a serious social impact,

05:44restrictions on access to treatment, reduction in preventive campaigns, and the suspension of

05:50essential public health programs. Vulnerable populations, who depend on the public system,

05:55face a deterioration in health care quality, and an increase in health risks, especially children.

06:01Recent protests at the Garrahan hospital, not only defend the continuity of pediatric health services,

06:07but also denounce a political model that prioritizes economic adjustment over the right to health.

06:12The crisis highlights the tension between neoliberal policies and social rights in Argentina,

06:18with a critical public health care system in danger under the current government.

06:24The current crisis, precipitated by President Millet's vetoes and cuts,

06:29and strongly manifested at the Garrahan hospital, reveals how fiscal adjustment decisions affect

06:34staff working conditions, and access to essential health services,

06:38putting universal rights and social inclusion in health at risk.
