Public service updates in Argentina and Ecuador

In Chaco, Argentina, IPRODICH president Ana María Mitoire has advised beneficiaries of the Unique Disability Certificate (CUD) to begin renewal processes up to three months before expiration. This recommendation follows an administrative bottleneck caused by a surge in demand and the expiration of previous exceptional extensions.

To ensure continuous care during the waiting period, an agreement has been reached with the INSSSEP social security provider and other medical entities. This allows users to extend health benefits by presenting proof of their scheduled IPRODICH appointment.

In Ecuador, the National Transit Agency (ANT) has announced priority service for citizens whose identification numbers end in 7 or 8 from September 22 to 25, 2026. This measure aims to resolve pending procedures interrupted by a nationwide system failure on September 17.
