Overview
- A federal judge in Córdoba issued a nationwide injunction giving PAMI and the Health Ministry’s Incluir Salud 72 hours to restart payments to disability providers.
- The measure answers a collective lawsuit filed by Defendamos Córdoba and lawyer Marta Lastra on behalf of clinics, schools, and care centers.
- The ruling seeks to protect people on non‑contributory pensions and holders of the national disability certificate after reports of halted therapies and missed medicines.
- The court cited severe financial strain, spotlighting Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione, which reported over 41.5 million pesos in interest this year due to delayed state payments.
- Health officials said the backlog stems from an internal reorganization and a transfer of the program, but the order stands for six months or until a final ruling with penalties for noncompliance.
