Argentina — Health Worker & Medical Professional Verification (SISA / REFEPS)

Validates and verifies medical professionals and healthcare practitioners across the Argentine Republic by DNI (documentNumber) or Full Name (fullName), with optional professional license number (matricula).

The service queries the official Registro Federal de Profesionales de la Salud (REFEPS) integrated in the Sistema de Información Sanitaria Argentino (SISA) of the Ministerio de Salud de la Nación (MSAL), confirming professional license numbers, degree titles, specialties, provincial health authority, and authorization status.

• National and Provincial Scope: Unifies records across the 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA).
• Comprehensive Health Disciplines: Validates physicians (médicos), dentists (odontólogos), psychologists, nurses, pharmacists, and biochemists.
• Accredited Specialties: Confirms medical and clinical specialties registered with provincial colleges and the national ministry.
