<P align=left><FONT color=#000000 size=2>"An alternative strategy to reduce
mternal mortality" by Anthony Costello,Kishwar Azad and Sarah Barnett is
recommended;in the comments section is the silver lining. They have made a
compelling arguement in favour of alternative context-specific services and
community-based approaches in addition to the health centre-based intrapartum
care. In my opinion (coming from a high maternal mortality area in Jharkhand and
Orissa in India) PHM should subscribe to such a view.</FONT></P>
