The Safe Motherhood Strategies Project

This CD-Rom results from collaboration between the European Commission, the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp University and John Snow International - UK.

In order to further its commitment to the reduction of maternal mortality, and to ensure that its strategy and policies are based on the available evidence, the EC commissioned 19 scientific background papers which reviewed the published and gray literature on particular topics. These papers were discussed at an expert meeting in Brussels in November 2000.

The papers were published by ITM in book form in English and French and over 4,000 copies of the book have been distributed to date. This CD-Rom has been created to meet the continuing demand for these articles. In addition a version in Spanish will be available in September 2003. We hope that this user-friendly format will meet the needs of researchers, practitioners and policy makers with an interest in safe motherhood.
