Veteran journalist Chiche Gelblung was hospitalized on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at the Sanatorio Mater Dei. This prestigious medical center is located in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, a district known for its parks and cultural life. According to reports from colleague Lucas Bertero, Gelblung entered the facility around midday presenting a feverish condition and potential lung complications.
Gelblung, who leads the program "70-20", went to the clinic provisionally to regulate his temperature and undergo necessary checks. For international audiences, it is important to note that Mater Dei is one of the most sought-after private clinics in Argentina, often frequented by public figures.
Journalist Pablo Montagna provided context to calm the public, clarifying that this instance is not a cause for major concern. Unlike his previous hospitalization—where he spent a full month hospitalized—this admission is characterized as preventive and for control.
The fever is reportedly under control, and the medical team is keeping him under observation to rule out any further complications.
