------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holiday greeting from Safe Motherhood Director As we enter the holiday season, I would like to thank you for your support this year. With your help we have brought the LifeWrap to hundreds of women in Africa and Asia, have spread the results of our LifeWrap research through scientific journals and international conferences and moved into the final phase of our research in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
This newsletter is dedictated to the 300,000+ women that died this year from pregnancy and childbirth complications along with our sincere wishes that next year fewer women die so needlessly.
Yours,
Dr. Suellen Miller Director, Safe Motherhood Program, UCSF
