E - NESTOR CARLOS KIRCHNER Specialized media has named El Cruce among the top five hospitals in Latin America. The facility’s avant-garde equipment and the human factor’s outreach to the community via seminars and events are outstanding traits for the hospital. “We’ve reached an important number of transplants with the same positive results as in the best hospitals, globally. Such achievements are the result of our team of professionals’ commitment,” explained Dr. Juan Marini, Medical Director for El Cruce High Complexity Hospital. Marini has wide experience in the public health system: he was once named health advisor to the National Congress, he has performed in high management roles in different hospitals, and his previous tenure as Health Minister for the Buenos Aires Province provides a much needed knowledge of the area’s health necessities.
