Medical insurance is highly recommended as there are no reciprocal health agreements. Medical facilities are generally of a high standard in Buenos Aires, though of varying quality outside the capital. Immediate cash payment is often expected by doctors.
Food and drink:

Tap water is generally safe, but bottled water is recommended outside main cities and towns.
Other risks:

Dengue fever, carried by mosquitoes, is present but not common. Leishmanasis, a skin disease spread by sandflies, is a low risk. Both can be avoided with sensible precautionary measures such as using mosquito nets and insect repellent in lowland and jungle areas.
