Expansion of bone marrow transplant services in Argentina

Overview

Public health facilities in Argentina are expanding their capacity for bone marrow transplants and hematology-oncology services.

Hospital Néstor Kirchner reported a significant increase in surgical production, noting a 30% rise compared to the previous year. The institution has completed 45 transplants to date in 2026, utilizing a Major Ambulatory Surgery model to allow patients to return home on the same day.

In Buenos Aires, Hospital Ramos Mejía has received authorization from INCUCAI to operate a new bone marrow transplant unit for adult patients. This marks the first time a public facility in the city’s network has offered this high-complexity service for adults. To support these efforts, the Provincial Institute of Health Insurance (IPROSS) has facilitated 15 transplants for its affiliates, covering costs for patients and donors, including medication and travel to medical centers.
