Overview
- A Dec. 18 joint bulletin from Neuquén’s Health Ministry and Hospital Ramón Carrillo confirms ICU care for multiorgan failure with a reserved prognosis, requiring continuous specialized support.
- He suffered a decompensation at the base of a guided Lanín expedition, and guides, park rangers and Gendarmería coordinated his rescue and handoff to medical teams.
- After initial stabilization in Junín de los Andes, he was transferred to Hospital Ramón Carrillo in San Martín de los Andes, where he remains under intensive support.
- Health authorities said their bulletin is the only official source and cautioned against unverified reports about presumed causes or diagnoses.
- Doctors evaluated transfer to a higher‑complexity center in Buenos Aires but deferred it due to instability, while his family, including his wife, has requested strict privacy.
