Before its hospitalization was officially confirmed, there was a signal that caused concern within Mirtha Legrand’s inner circle. According to what Para Ti learned through sources close to the host, on Sunday she had to suspend her traditional afternoon tea with friends because she was not feeling well anymore.
It is a gathering the diva is accustomed to hosting on Sundays and to which some of her dearest friends usually attend, among them Héctor Vidal Rivas, Teté Coustarot, Martín Cabrales and Ale Veroutis.
This time, Mirtha could not receive them. The discomfort she was experiencing led her general practitioner to examine her and advised transferring her to the Sanatorio Mater Dei to undergo tests and remain under professional supervision.
According to the information obtained by this outlet, the host was moved to the medical center and around 8 p.m. she was admitted.
The Concern for Mirtha Legrand’s Health
Sources close to the diva explained that Mirtha suffers from chronic bronchitis, so at any symptom or warning sign she promptly consults with her doctors. Given that she is 99 years old, her entourage and the professionals who accompany her prefer to act with caution and keep her under control.
Days before the hospitalization, the presenter had already suspended filming of her show due to a flu-like illness, for which she was resting. The decision to move her to Mater Dei aimed to prevent possible complications and allow her to complete the corresponding studies in a medical setting. Finally, the sanatorium confirmed that she is experiencing a bronchial respiratory condition and that she will remain in a common room.
For the moment, the family is taking a cautious stance and has asked for respect during the hospitalization. Any updates on the evolution of the presenter will be officially communicated by the health center.
The Complete Medical Update on Mirtha Legrand
“Ms. Mirtha Legrand was admitted this morning to our Sanatorio with a bronchial respiratory condition. She will remain hospitalized in a general ward to complete tests and continue with the appropriate medical treatment.”
Her family thanks everyone for the expressions of affection and respect during Mirtha’s hospitalization.
If there are no changes, on Wednesday we will issue a new medical bulletin, which will be the only official communication from Sanatorio Mater Dei.
The communiqué, dated September 7, 2026, bears the signature of Dr. Enrique Echagüe, Medical Director of Sanatorio Mater Dei.
