Title	Algeria: Medical General II 1956-1959
Scope and Content	The file contains tabs labeled OSE, OSE/Financial, Jewish Agency, and Maternal Child Care. The tabs contain correspondence, a plan for the establishment of an Algerian branch of OSE (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants), architectural plans for a mother-child health clinic, and statistics on an infant health service rub by Oeuvre des Dames Visiteuses. Much of the material in the file relates to the initial establishment of OSE activities, plans to set up a mother-child health clinic under OSE auspices, and the failure to set up significant OSE services due to the unavailability of expected premises and the chaos affecting World Union OSE, the existence of which was unclear for a period of time.
