ANS: A
The World Bank lends money to lesser-developed countries so that they might use it to improve the health status of their people. Projects include control and eradication of disease, providing safe drinking water and affordable housing, developing sanitation systems, and encouraging family planning and childhood immunizations. Improvement of roads and bridges, creation of a national health insurance plan, and recovery efforts following a hurricane would not be projects where World Bank funds would be used.
