Florencia Prieto
Florencia Prieto is an infectologist from Concordia, Argentina, who gained attention for her early warnings regarding contaminated medications produced by HLB Pharma. She reported detecting the presence of the bacteria Ralstonia pickettii in HLB Pharma's dexamethasone, which led her to remove infected lots from circulation and alert the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Technology (ANMAT). Her foresight and intervention are now viewed as critical in the context of the recent health crisis caused by contaminated fentanyl, which has resulted in numerous fatalities.
