Care is essential work and a fundamental pillar for economic growth and well-being. Everyone will require care at some point in their life. Care includes healthcare, household care, care for dependent people and caregivers, and self-care. The following interactive menu of care solutions features some of the latest programs and projects in which the IDB has supported governments in Latin America and the Caribbean. Each category shows the breadth of the work covering different dimensions of care systems, such as governance and financing, services, cultural change, data, regulations, training, quality standards, and support for paid and unpaid caregivers.
