The Favaloro Foundation was established in 1975 as a not-for-profit organization by René G. Favaloro on his return from the United States, with three main goals: providing medical care, generating scientific knowledge, and educating health professionals. Today, besides highly-specialized Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery, attention is provided in Pulmonology, Nephrology, Hepatology, Immunogenetics, Gastroenterology, Orthopaedics, and Bariatric Surgery, to mention a few. The Institute of Neuroscience offers diagnosis and treatment for all neurological, psychiatric and neurosurgical pathologies both in adults and children. The Transplantation Programs are among the most active in Argentina.
The Favaloro University offers graduate and postgraduate courses.
