Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiérrez

The Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiérrez, a children's hospital in Argentina, is currently in the news due to allegations of drug theft. Specifically, the hospital is implicated in a scandal involving the diversion of anesthetic drugs, including propofol and fentanyl, which are suspected to have been stolen and used in clandestine parties referred to as "Propofest." These parties are under investigation following the death of a nurse and an anesthesiologist, both found with these drugs in their systems. The investigation aims to uncover a network allegedly stealing medications from hospitals for recreational use. The hospital's involvement highlights concerns about security and oversight within Argentinian healthcare facilities and raises questions about the potential for drug abuse among medical professionals.
