Argentina disability centres shut amid austerity cuts: Video
Dozens of care centres for people with disabilities in Argentina are closing as funding dries up under government austerity measures.
At least 50 facilities, including the Day Centre Cedime in Buenos Aires Province, have been affected by delayed or suspended payments linked to policies introduced by Javier Milei. Staff and families warn that the cuts are already reducing services and harming vulnerable communities, with fewer activity days and limited support. Centre representatives say mounting unpaid debts and lack of financial updates have made operations unsustainable, while critics argue proposed reforms to disability laws risk rolling back rights and access to essential care.
