There is no bilateral healthcare provision agreement between the UK and Argentina so travellers to the country need to ensure that they arrange comprehensive medical insurance prior to travel. Medical care is of a high standard in major cities, but in rural areas you may need to be transported to Buenos Aires for treatment, and you should ensure that your travel insurance provides cover against air ambulance extraction, which can be very expensive.
There are shortages of many prescription drugs in the country, and if you have a chronic condition such as asthma or diabetes, you should ensure that you carry enough medication to last for your entire stay.
In the cities, pollution is a real problem, and breathing disorders and allergies may be aggravated by time spent there during your stay.
Tap water is not always safe to drink, and you should stick to bottled water from a sealed container for your own protection while in the country.
