A few days ago marked 25 years since the death of René Favaloro, one of Argentina’s most beloved and respected doctors. He was the creator of the coronary bypass surgery (yeah, that life-saving procedure millions have benefited from worldwide) and was known everywhere for his work and integrity.
But his death back in July 2000 hit hard. He took his own life at 77, leaving a powerful letter talking about the financial struggles of his foundation and how abandoned he felt by the government and many private sectors. He spoke about bureaucracy, corruption, and the cold shoulder from a system that didn’t support him.
Now, 25 years later, the same questions keep coming up:
What do you guys think? Would things be different if he were around today?

Now, 25 years later, the same questions keep coming up:
- What really pushed him to make that decision?
- Has anything changed in the country since then?
What do you guys think? Would things be different if he were around today?

La carta que René Favaloro le escribió a Fernando de la Rúa: “Estoy desesperado”
El médico le pidió ayuda económica urgente al entonces presidente para salvar su fundación. El texto fue leído recién después de su suicidio.
