control in pregnancy

PREMA-EU: A network dealing with the problem of malaria control in 
pregnant
women (apologies for any cross-posting)

PREMA-EU is a concerted action, founded a year ago, which aims to 
reduce the
burden of disease caused by malaria and anaemia in pregnant 
women and
children. PREMA aims to achieve this through sharing information 
on the
'state of the art' concerning malaria and anaemia in pregnancy, and 
through
promoting the implementation of research findings into feasible
interventions. PREMA-EU intends to open its activities to health 
managers,
Ministry of Health staff, sociologists, scientists and policy makers.

Please have a look at our newly developed website
<http://www.prema-eu.org/> to see what has been achieved in this 
first year,
read recent publications and see how you can contribute
<http://www.prema-eu.org/prprojects.htm>.
