The Libreta Sanitaria and the carnet de vacunación
Argentina records childhood immunisation in a carnet de vacunación, frequently inside the Libreta Sanitaria issued at birth, with each dose dated and stamped by the vaccinating centre.
The national calendar includes BCG at birth, hepatitis B at birth and yellow fever in defined provinces, none of which are routine US vaccines. We reproduce every entry and give the standard English designation alongside the Spanish name.
Three systems, three records
Argentine healthcare runs through the public system, obras sociales tied to employment, and private prepagas, and a person's history is frequently split across all three with no single record.
So an Argentine medical file is a set of documents from different institutions rather than one chart. We name each institution and date rather than presenting the set as a continuous record.
The matrícula, national or provincial
Argentine physicians hold a matrícula that may be national (MN) or provincial (MP), and the signature block shows which. Both are valid and they are issued by different authorities.
We reproduce the prefix and the number, because a US office searching the wrong register will not find the doctor.
Historia clínica, and the patient's right to it
Argentine law gives the patient ownership of their historia clínica and a right to a copy within a defined period, which is stronger than in many of the systems on this list.
So an Argentine client generally can obtain the full record rather than only a summary, and it is worth asking before settling for a certificate. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
