Right to Health

Health amparos, social health insurance funds and private plans, disability, medical malpractice, and high-cost medications.

The right to health is a fundamental human right enshrined in Argentina's National Constitution and developed through an extensive body of legislation: Laws 23.660 and 23.661 (Social Health Insurance Act), Law 26.682 (Prepaid Medicine Act), Law 24.901 (Disability Assistance System), Law 26.657 (Mental Health Act), Law 26.529 (Patient Rights Act), and the Mandatory Medical Program (PMO).

The effective exercise of this right depends, in many cases, on the real ability to demand coverage, medical benefits, and quality care. When the system fails, the primary legal tool is the health amparo — a medical injunction. We assist patients and families facing denied coverage, disability benefit disputes, high-cost medication access issues, mental health matters, medical malpractice claims, and all matters related to enforcing the right to health.
