World Bank gives aid to Mexico for swine flu

I think this fulfills the World Banks' mission of making the world a better place to live. It is definitely worthy for the World Bank to be helping Mexico in its recovery process and to ensure that as few people are affected by the swine flu or any other illness in the future. With the President's declaration of emergency over the outbreak, we need to be working towards getting people back to proper health. The aspect that I find very encouraging is that the World Bank is willing to commit funding in the future so that Mexico can build up its operations in the event that another outbreak takes place. We now understand that this is a potential problem and unless we work to eliminate the cause of the illness it is possible that it can just pop up back again in the future. I think the World Bank has done an admirable job in this situation given that they really only started working on aiding Mexico a couple of days ago. Being able to work quickly in putting together packages is probably not something that happens very often, but it is nice to see the World Bank stepping up at this time.
