The World Bank has said it will provide $100 million to Argentina to help fund emergency health care, education, and other programs. Approximately $34 million is earmarked for medical supplies for mothers and infants, vaccination programs, and campaigns against major illnesses like AIDS and malaria. About $50 million will be used to support nongovernmental organizations, networks, and grass-roots community groups, while another $12 million will go towards supplies for public schools.
