benefity society ... or (see other possibilities) Explanation: While this translates literally as "social work," Oxford Unabridged defines it as "benefit society" and Tom West shows "health insurance" for Argentina. Cabanellas shows social work or social service. It's going to depend on what context you can eke out of your document. |

Social Benefit(s) Explanation: In the context of Argentina, the preferred term seems to be “social benefits.” Please look at the following citation: http://www.idrc.ca/lacro/foro/seminario/montoya_pb.html “Reform of Social Benefits Organizations in Argentina: Progress Achieved and Upcoming Challenges 1. Objective: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the reform of the Sistema de Obras Sociales Nacionales [System of National Social Benefits Organizations] (SOS) undertaken in Argentina during the current decade.” I hope this fits in with the material you are translating. Fuad See citation above. |

obras sociales Explanation: Often this term is simply left in the Spanish and put into italics. It depends on the audience; experts in health economics/comparative internat'l health care will know what they are. www.paho.org/english/sha/prflarg.htm www.corporateinformation.com/data/statusa/argentinahealthca... www.worldbank.org/html/fpd/privatesector/cg/projects.htm see above |
