The Argentine government officially implemented on Wednesday a law that declares an emergency in the disability sector and sets budget allocations for service providers and healthcare professionals. The implementation establishes the framework for the law via a decree published in the Official Gazette. The lower and upper house voted against the veto and insisted on the law, effectively overturning it and ratifying the law in early September. The law guarantees budget allocations to increase payment to service providers and settle debts for nurses, companions, and transporters. The law establishes, among other things, a new welfare service to replace the existing one.
