Sanitation - Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is not currently undergoing any endemics. It is therefore a secure place sanitarily. No vaccines or other specific requirement is necessary.

Additionally, the city’s water network supplies potable drinking water.

The public hospitals, as required by law, attend to the medical emergencies of society as a whole, thus indiscriminately, 24 hours a day.

The Emergency ambulance service (SAME) operates under identical conditions.

In spite of this, visiting foreigners must possess medical issuance coverage in case sudden illness or an accident occurs. However, in the instance that he/she does not have any, he/she has the right to access public or private medical service by paying the solicited fees him/herself.
