It is a highly specialized medical center, with over 3000 employees, state-of-the-art technology and progressive cares. It is jointly funded by the federal government of Argentina (80%) and by the Buenos Aires City Government (20%).[3]
Federal funding, however, has been frozen since 2024, which has ignited a conflict between the government and the hospital staff.[4][5][6]
