I work for a Ugandan N.G.O., PACE, where we manage a network of 100 partly franchised clinics, and I\u2019m accustomed to grim stories of \u201clittle progress,\u201d even after loads of hard work to ensure that women in Uganda have better access to lifesaving services and products. It is therefore encouraging that the efforts health workers put in across the world are bearing fruit. <\/p>\n<p>In Uganda, though there remains a long mile to walk, we are making progress, too. In 2009, PACE\u2019s partnership with the Ministry of Health enabled 13,686 women to receive long-term family planning methods, up from 255 the previous year. We also distributed 12,420 clean delivery kits and 17,926 Misoprostol doses for the prevention of post-partum hemorrhage, which accounts for one-third of maternal deaths in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. <\/p>\n<p>Dorothy Balaba Byansi<\/p>\n<p>Kampala, Uganda, April 14, 2010<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/04\/19\/opinion\/l19maternal.html\" target=\"blank\">Read the letters<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","related_countries":[],"related_projects":[],"news_category":[],"health-area":[],"capabilities-and-cross-cutting":[],"class_list":["post-3799","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A recent New York Times article, Maternal Deaths in Sharp Decline Across the Globe, has sparked reactions ranging from congratulations to notes of caution that the work is not done yet.
