Buenos Aires upgrades two hospitals with new facilities and advanced equipment

Buenos Aires is undertaking significant renovations at the Pirovano and Zubizarreta hospitals, aiming to enhance medical care and efficiency. The projects, slated for completion between 2026 and 2027, involve new construction and the integration of advanced medical technology.

At the Zubizarreta Hospital, the plan includes demolishing an existing structure to build a four-level facility. This expansion is designed to double the hospital's outpatient and rehabilitation capacity and centralize key services, boosting its surgical capabilities.

The Pirovano Hospital's renovation focuses on consolidating all operating rooms into a single area, improving surgical efficiency. Additionally, it will establish a high-security biological space for oncology patients. Work on Pirovano began in December 2025 and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

These transformations are expected to directly benefit patients through improved healthcare services and enhance the working conditions for medical staff. The government aims to provide a more effective response to the current medical demands by upgrading infrastructure and incorporating state-of-the-art equipment.
