PAMI (Spanish: Programa de Atención Médica Integral; English: Comprehensive Medical Attention Program) is a public health insurance agency in Argentina managed by the country's Ministry of Health. Administered under the aegis of the Instituto Nacional de Servicios Sociales para Jubilados y Pensionados (National Institute of Social Services for Retirees and Pensioners, or INSSJP), PAMI serves senior citizens, and veterans of the 1982 Falklands War. PAMI maintains 37 regional offices and 550 local offices for its over 4 million enrollees. The agency provides free medicine to 650,000 pensioners and retirees, 87% of whom earn the minimum pension of around US$200 a month. Another 13% receive a benefit of the high cost of their treatment, in cases where this exceeds a retiree's income. The agency covers 100% of the cost of drugs to treat cancer, AIDS, and other chronic medical conditions. Medications for hypertension, which affects nearly nine of out of ten seniors in Argentina, are covered with an 80% discount, including prescription drugs for cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. The agency covers over 2,000 stent insertions annually, as well as over 6,000 pacemaker implants (70% of those provided in Argentina). More information...
