In Argentina, the government has undertaken significant regulatory and structural changes within the health and security sectors. The Superintendencia de Servicios de Salud (SSS) disqualified 18 private medical insurance entities and mutuals from the National Registry of Prepaid Medicine (RNEMP) due to operational failures or lack of active members. This follows a broader audit that has removed over 180 entities during the current administration.

Additionally, the National Weapons Registry (Renar) has been reorganized into a decentralized body under the Ministry of Security via Decree 770/2026, expanding its oversight of firearms, ammunition, and explosives.

At the provincial level, the Buenos Aires Senate's Public Health Commission has paused two major initiatives proposed by Health Minister Nicolás Kreplak. These include the Integrated Health System of the Province of Buenos Aires (SIPBA), which aims to coordinate public, private, and social security health sectors, and a project to establish a Buenos Aires Pharmaceutical Industry Center to strengthen public medicine production and reduce costs.
