The San Roque González de Santa Cruz Indigenous Hospital in Limpio, Paraguay, is experiencing critical shortages of medical specialists and transport vehicles. Director Dr. Darío Jara reported a high demand for specialists, including gynecologists, pediatricians, and ultrasound technicians. The facility also faces a lack of mobile units, with reports indicating a single ambulance performed 743 transfers in the last quarter. In Paraná, Argentina, the San Roque Materno Infantil Hospital has addressed a crisis involving staff resignations in the Otorhinolaryngology service. Following a meeting between the Minister of Health, Daniel Blanzaco, and the medical team led by department head Carlos Albornoz, an agreement was reached to ensure service continuity. Minister Blanzaco stated that medical services were never interrupted and emphasized that dialogue remained open. The Ministry continues to develop organizational alternatives to manage high demand for pediatric services within this specialty. Recent reports confirm that the Ministry of Health in Entre Ríos successfully negotiated the continuity of the otorhinolaryngology team at San Roque Hospital following the previous resignations.
