Healthcare in Buenos Aires: what you need to know

Public healthcare is free even for tourists, and the quality is decent. Private plans (OSDE, Swiss Medical) cost $60–150/month — top-tier coverage; private clinic births are popular among relocating expats. Russian-speaking doctors and doulas can be found in the SVOY chat.
