Health care is provided through a combination of employer and labour union-sponsored plans (''Obras Sociales''), government insurance plans, public hospitals and clinics and through private health insurance plans. Health care cooperatives number over 300 (of which 200 are related to [[Trade union|labour unions]]) and provide health care for half the population; the national INSSJP (popularly known as PAMI) covers nearly all of the five million senior citizens.<ref name=iadb>{{cite web |url=http://www.iadb.org/sds/doc/Desregulacion.pdf |title=IADB |publisher=IADB |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080902020302/http://www.iadb.org/sds/doc/Desregulacion.pdf |archive-date=2 September 2008}}</ref>

There are more than 153,000 hospital beds, 121,000 physicians and 37,000 dentists (ratios comparable to [[developed country|developed nations]]).<ref name=deis>[http://www.deis.gov.ar/Publicaciones/Archivos/Serie5Nro52.pdf Estadisticas Vitales – Informacionn Basica Año2008] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110125031148/http://www.deis.gov.ar/Publicaciones/Archivos/Serie5Nro52.pdf |date=25 January 2011}}.

Causes related to [[senility]] led to many of the rest. Infant deaths have fallen from 19% of all deaths in 1953 to 3% in 2005.<ref name=deis /><ref name=un57>''UN Demographic Yearbook. 1957.''</ref>

The availability of health care has also reduced [[infant mortality]] from 70 per 1000 live births in 1948<ref name=un97>''UN Demographic Yearbook. Historical Statistics. 1997''.</ref> to 12.1 in 2009<ref name=deis /> and raised [[life expectancy]] at birth from 60 years to 76.<ref name=un97 /> Though these figures compare favorably with global averages, they fall short of levels in developed nations and in 2006, Argentina ranked fourth in Latin America.<ref name=undata />
