Argentine Front denounces defunding and dismissals in Health

Buenos Aires, April 4 (Prensa Latina) — The Argentine Front in Defense of Public Health and Life is organizing protest actions today in the capital and several provinces to denounce the serious conditions within the sector and the recent dismissals in state institutions.

With the support of the Professional Union Federation, various groups will participate in initiatives scheduled for today and the following week.

In Chaco, the Association of Professionals, Technicians, and Auxiliaries will conduct a 24-hour strike today, which will include rallies in both the capital and rural areas to protest the lack of responses from the local government and the ongoing issues in the health system.

In observance of World Health Day, the Front has planned an open radio event and other activities for Monday to condemn the funding shortages in public hospitals and the dismissal of numerous workers over the past few months.

Additionally, they expressed support for a national strike announced by the General Confederation of Labor and other trade union centers, scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Furthermore, the group opposes the decision by President Javier Milei to withdraw from the World Health Organization. This measure has faced strong criticism from political, social, and labor groups, which warn about its potential negative consequences.
