Hospital de Pediatría S.A.M.I.C. "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan", commonly known as Hospital Garrahan, is a public hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in the neighborhood of Parque Patricios. Since it opened on 25 August 1987, it has become the leading public, free and high-complexity pediatric hospital in the country.
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%).
Federal funding, however, has been frozen since 2024, which has ignited a conflict between the government and the hospital staff.https://www.pagina12.com.ar/830822-noche-de-velas-del-garrahan-a-la-espera-de-que-se-formalice-https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/javier-milei-hablo-del-hospital-garrahan-y-dijo-que-hay-noquis-dibujados-por-el-kirchnerismo-nid30052025/https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/investigar-los-manejos-del-gobierno-en-el-garrahan-el-fiscal-imputo-a-lugones-y-ordeno-las-primeras-nid02062025/
