PHM-Exch> Midwives in Mozambique doing major surgery save thousands of mothers' lives

[Staffan Bergström]

Friends,
The Swedish documentary on Mozambique's world-unique training  
programme of midwives for major surgery, "Birth of a surgeon", was  
again broadcast by the US non-commercial channel PBS "Wide Angle" on  
July 15 with headlines in New York Times. You can see glimpses of this  
on these links:
