Description

Argentina launched the National Rural Health Improvement Plan on 21 August 1939. The plan expanded medical services, vaccination programs, and mobile clinics in isolated communities. Health workers traveled to remote areas to address common illnesses and promote hygiene education. The initiative improved maternal and child health outcomes. It also strengthened coordination between rural clinics and provincial hospitals. Its implementation marked a major step in addressing rural health disparities.
