Assessment of accessibility to the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors in Argentina: Preliminary results.

CONCLUSION: The data obtained provides information about the accessibility to brain tumors treatment, exposing the unequal distribution of human and technologic resources in Argentina. This problem exceeds the limits of public health to become a bioethical problem. We think these results could be essentially associated to our health system fragmented structure, and the large geographical extension of our country. Finally, we believe that collaboration of professional associations working together with public and private sector authorities responsible for financial resources and logistic should bring a principle of solution.
