Hospital Centenario

The main Hospital in Gualeguaychú, which is known as "Hospital Centenario", is a major building that was built on August 30th, 1913, over an old cemetery.

It was built after a charity hospital named Sociedad de Beneficencia (Charity Society) decided to

enlarge its building. As there wasn't enough space to do so, the town council decided to donate land

to the charity and in 1909 the hospital was built by the architect Juan Antonio Buschiazzo and his team.It took almost five years to build and in 1973 the hospital added mother and child care services.

Today there is a new hospital called “Hospital Bicentenario'' next to it, which aims to offer better services and improved facilities. Due to this, some services that were provided by the old hospital are now fulfilled in the new one. In fact, some areas of the old hospital are soon to be destroyed.
