During the 2024–2025 biennium, Argentina consolidated the strengthening of the national immunization program, achieving significant progress that directly enhanced  the sustainability of access to vaccines for all. During this period, 100% of the country’s municipalities were assessed for risk related to poliomyelitis, measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome, and all municipalities were able to generate systematized data on tracer vaccines, reinforcing evidence-based decision-making. 

Argentina succeeded in expanding access to essential health technologies for all by consolidating the PAHO Regional Revolving fund for Strategic Public Health Supplies (the Strategic Fund) as a federal pooled procurement mechanism. Purchases made through the Strategic Fund generated average savings of up to 77%, with cumulative savings exceeding USD 27 million, optimizing the use of public resources in the context of fiscal constraints. 

Argentina made considerable progress in transforming primary health care (PHC) through a comprehensive strategy focused on human capital development, knowledge management, and the promotion of innovation in PHC.  

During the biennium, substantial progress was made in the national response to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), combining policy strengthening, improvements in clinical care, and the modernization of prevention strategies. The implementation of the HEARTS initiative was consolidated in seven provinces, contributing to the improvement of PHC-based management of NCDs.

With technical support from PAHO, Argentina’s Ministry of Health advanced the digital modernization of the health system by strengthening interoperability and promoting the strategic use of data for health decision-making.

PAHO provided strategic technical cooperation through the implementation of two national Datathons in 2025, conceived as collaborative spaces to strengthen information governance, improve data quality, and build institutional capacities for data analysis and use.
