Social Protection in Health Schemes for Mother and Child Population: Lessons Learned from the Latin American Region. (Electronic book text)

This publication is the product of a joint initiative between PAHO/WHO, USAID, SIDA (Swedish International Development Agency) and AECI, initiated in 2004/05 to identify options for extending social protection in health to mothers, newborns, and children in LAC. It relies strongly on concepts and methodologies developed since 2000 by PAHO and SIDA and on the conceptual developments of the ILO (International Labour Organization)-PAHO Joint Initiative on Extension of Social Protection in Health.
