focus is on the critical shortage of health workers in the developing world and
the urgent need for more female health workers to save the lives of mothers, newborn
babies and young children. Every year, 50 million women in the developing world

countries that have invested in training and deploying more female health
workers and shows how these women are delivering lifesaving health care to some
of the poorest and hardest-to-reach mothers and babies. It identifies strategies
and approaches that are succeeding in the fight to save lives, and shows that
effective solutions to this challenge are affordable – even in the
world’s poorest countries…..”<br>
