Great news recently from Hesperian Health Guides, the publisher of Where There is No Doctor and many other wonderful books and resources.

As many have noted, if it was men who gave birth, the kind of safe, accessible and compassionate treatment advocated […]  in Hesperian’s Book for Midwives would have been achieved years ago. You can help women achieve safe motherhood by supporting midwifery, and by supporting the gratis distribution of Hesperian’s Book for Midwives. Hesperian partners ENDA in Sengal and the African Birth Collective (Senegal and Oregon) are preparing to release a French for Africa edition of A Book for Midwives which we anticipate making available before the end of this year in the Hesperian Digital Commons.
