Argentina's PAMI launches digital platform to book medical appointments

The Instituto Nacional de Servicios Sociales para Jubilados y Pensionados (PAMI) has introduced a renewed digital platform, Mi PAMI o, allowing retirees and pensioners to schedule in‑person appointments online or via mobile. The service lets users select the desired agency, date and time, receive a digital or printed proof, and cancel or modify bookings, reducing wait times at PAMI offices. The platform also supports proxy users (apoderados) to act on behalf of beneficiaries.

In parallel, Hospital Posadas in Argentina has opened a direct communication line for breast‑cancer patients. Those with a BIRADS IV‑V result, biopsy, or cancer diagnosis can request an appointment through dedicated WhatsApp numbers (11‑2767‑8072 for new cases, 11‑3612‑0730 for PAMI/UNIPEM affiliates) or a toll‑free 0800‑222‑4627 line for ongoing treatment and follow‑up. Email contacts are also provided. Both initiatives aim to streamline access to diagnosis, treatment and follow‑up care.
