Description

Argentina launched the National Rural Health Training Initiative on 7 October 1938. The initiative trained nurses, health workers, and volunteers to serve underserved farming regions. Courses covered disease prevention, maternal care, and first aid. Workers were deployed to remote communities lacking medical services. The initiative improved rural health outcomes and strengthened local infrastructure. Its founding marked progress toward reducing healthcare disparities.
