Hospital Militar Central
Hospital Militar Central, Military hospital in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Hospital Militar Central is a medical facility in Palermo serving armed forces personnel and their families, spread across multiple connected buildings. The complex houses specialized departments including traumatology, cardiology, and neurosurgery, with wheelchair accessibility throughout.
The hospital was established following the Paraguayan War when military physicians recognized the need for dedicated medical facilities. Its development was shaped by disease outbreaks and the growing demand for specialized military medical care.
The facility bears the name of a physician who founded Argentina's first medical school in the early 1800s and played a role in the nation's early independence. You can sense this medical legacy today in how the institution continues to serve the armed forces and their families.
The facility is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring ramps and wide corridors throughout to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges. Since the complex spans multiple interconnected buildings, it helps to familiarize yourself with the layout before arriving.
A civil association formed in 1989 to support the hospital's work and received a state decoration in 1999 for its contributions to healthcare improvements. This recognition reflects how the institution has extended its impact beyond its military mission.
