What Fatsa Sanidad does

Fatsa Sanidad — legally Federación de Asociaciones de Trabajadores de la Sanidad Argentina (FATSA) — is Argentina's largest labor union federation for healthcare and sanitation workers, established in the 1940s and headquartered in Buenos Aires. The federation represents workers across hospitals, clinics, and sanitation services nationwide, delivering collective bargaining (acción gremial), health insurance coverage through its wholly-owned OSPSA obra social, professional training via Instituto Sanidad and Campus Virtual, and tourism services through multiple resort facilities including Hotel Otto Calace in La Falda, Córdoba.

The federation operates a national network of 39 affiliated branch offices (filiales) covering virtually every Argentine province, supported by a digital ecosystem comprising the Red Sanidad mobile app (iOS and Android), the OSPSA self-service portal for health insurance administration, the Aportes y Convenios system for employer contributions, and a newly redesigned web portal for content and member communication. Members can schedule medical appointments, access medical records, manage union affiliation online, and receive union news through these integrated platforms. FATSA is affiliated with Argentina's CGT labor confederation and serves as the Argentine affiliate and regional headquarters for UNI Americas, part of the UNI Global Union network.

Revenue is derived from membership dues, employer contributions under collective agreements (convenios colectivos), OSPSA health insurance premiums, training fees, and tourism operations. Financial statements are not publicly disclosed. The federation is led by Secretary General Héctor Daer, who concurrently serves as president of UNI Americas; he was re-elected at the 61st Ordinary National Congress of Delegates held May 7–8, 2026 in La Falda, Córdoba.
