Axel Kicillof anuncia refuerzo en entrega de medicamentos en Buenos Aires

El gobernador de Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, anunció un refuerzo en la entrega de medicamentos a los 135 municipios de la provincia. La medida amplía el programa Medicamentos Bonaerenses tras recortes nacionales en el programa Remediar. Kicillof criticó duramente al Gobierno nacional por desfinanciar políticas sanitarias.

Durante una recorrida por La Plata, Kicillof presentó la ampliación del programa Medicamentos Bonaerenses junto al ministro de Salud, Nicolás Kreplak. Visitaron el Hospital Rossi y el depósito central en el Hospital Interzonal “Dr. Alejandro Korn”, desde donde se distribuyen insumos a toda la provincia.

El programa ahora cubre 45 de los 74 fármacos destinados a personas con cobertura pública exclusiva, sumados a otros 91 medicamentos distribuidos por distintas políticas sanitarias. La inversión total alcanza los $24.500 millones. Esta acción responde al desfinanciamiento del programa nacional Remediar, cuyo vademécum pasó de más de 100 a apenas tres medicamentos, con una caída del 55% en unidades distribuidas respecto de 2023.

Kicillof calificó de “criminal” el corte de medicamentos para enfermedades comunes y acusó al Gobierno de “crear una crisis sin precedentes en nuestro sistema de salud”. Agregó: “Después de desregular los precios, avanzaron con un ajuste cruel para vaciar el programa Remediar y dejar sin asistencia a más de 20 millones de personas”.

Kreplak señaló que el Estado nacional redujo un 62% las transferencias vinculadas a insumos y medicamentos, pero la provincia redobló esfuerzos para garantizar el acceso a fármacos esenciales.
