Healthcare workers and social organizations in Buenos Aires, Argentina, initiated a 24-hour strike and a march from the Congress to Plaza de Mayo on July 17 to protest deteriorating conditions at the Hospital Garrahan, the country's leading public pediatric hospital. The protests highlight concerns over the hospital's management and funding, with the Health Minister criticizing "legal scams and poor administration" at the facility. Despite the strike and union-led actions, medical staff at Hospital Garrahan continued to provide care, including performing a liver transplant on a child during the protest period. The hospital also denied access to a media team seeking to conduct interviews with pediatric patients, citing the need to protect the children's environment. The demonstrations caused traffic disruptions in Buenos Aires as supporters rallied for better labor conditions and public health services.
