The Argentine government has implemented a controversial decision to restrict access to public healthcare services for individuals who do not possess the country’s National Identity Document (DNI). The resolution was signed and issued by Fernán Quirós, Argentina’s Minister of Health, marking a substantial shift in healthcare access for foreign nationals. Under this new policy, individuals who are unable to present a valid DNI will be required to pay for all medical services, a change that directly affects undocumented foreigners. The policy explicitly states that in cases of urgent or emergency medical situations, healthcare cannot be denied or restricted.
