I had the medical care that I needed since I was pregnant. I always had very good attention from the obstetrician, the nurses and now from the pediatrician.
Care for Mothers and Children Saves Lives in Argentina
The Nacer/Sumar Program played a pivotal role in dramatically lowering infant mortality rates in Argentina. From 2003 to 2022, there was a 50% reduction in infant mortality. In 2021, the infant mortality rate hit an all-time low of 8 per 1,000 live births. Moreover, the maternal mortality rate dropped by one percentage point to 3.4, aligning closely with rates in developed nations.
Inclusive mobility in Quito
The Quito Metro stands out for improving the way the city moves and also for its inclusive vision: 40% of its workers are women, from executives to drivers. We work with Ecuador to challenge stereotypes and promote gender equality in the transportation sector.
Better information management in Chile
With the Local Social Management system, municipalities throughout Chile are greatly improving their services to the population through enhanced efficiency in delivering benefits and in better management of public resources. Learn how officials are changing lives through this new approach to services.
A region that never stops
From Mexico to Argentina, we are a region that never stops. People grow and reinvent themselves by learning through innovation, while protecting the environment.
