Cristina Kirchner has been admitted again to the Otamendi Sanatorium, her usual place of medical care, this time for an abdominal ailment. This private institution is where some of the most significant surgical procedures of recent years on the health of the vice president, convicted in the Vialidad case, were performed, the Argentine News Agency (NA) learned.
Medical history In 2021, at the Otamendi, the former head of state underwent a hysterectomy, a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus.
This was her last known public surgery. While in office at the Casa Rosada, Cristina Kirchner also underwent other surgeries:
2012: Removal of a tumor in the thyroid gland (Austral University Hospital, Pilar). 2013: Extraction of a chronic subdural hematoma on the head (Favaloro University Foundation Hospital).
Additionally, on various occasions, she was hospitalized in health institutions in the AMBA area for less severe pathologies.
Since June of this year, the former president has been under house arrest in her apartment at San José 1111, as part of her sentence in the Vialidad case. The justice system has imposed restrictions on visitation schedules, meeting times, and ordered the use of an electronic ankle monitor.
This week, Federal Judge Jorge Gorini authorized the defense's request to allow her access to the building's terrace and remain there for two hours a day. However, he rejected some names proposed to be added to the list of visitors who can enter without explicit permission from the court.
