Argentina

Argentina joined SNOMED International in 2018, adopting SNOMED CT as the standard vocabulary for its national Health Information infrastructure implementation.

The Ministry of Health is implementing Universal Health Coverage initiatives; the project includes strong support for provincial Health Information projects. Standards form the basis for the interoperability of clinical content between different provinces, facilitating the essential reporting of information to the national level for statistics, epidemiology, national programs and decision making.
