Malaria in Pregnancy Advocacy Brochure now available in French
--------------------------------------------------------------
We have been gratified by your response to the Malaria in Pregnancy
Advocacy brochure. More than 3,000 brochures have been distributed so
far. We are very pleased to announce that the brochure is now avail-
able in French, and will be available in Portuguese in the near fu-
ture.
Please send your requests for the French brochure to
<paltman@jhsph.edu> or <awolff@smtp.aed.org> We would like your help
in tracking the use of the brochure. Please let us know how you in-
tend to use it and keep in touch with us about how and to whom it was
distributed. We invite any questions, comments or suggestions you may
have in regard to the brochure and suggestions about how to extend
its use.
We hope that the dissemination of the information in the brochure
will improve malaria control implementation and encourage malaria
policy that reduces malaria morbidity among women of child bearing
age and their infants. It has been designed to inform and advocate
for recognition of the effects of malaria in pregnancy and strategies
for mitigating those effects. We hope that it will be the basis for
discussion and further investigation, and that it will encourage the
implementation of malaria interventions for pregnant women and con-
tinued discussion between those working in malaria research and con-
trol, those working in reproductive health and those making policy.
Production of the brochure is supported by USAID Africa Bureau.
