In these ares there is a lack of every aspect of basic health care system. I think what we need say, for example in maternity is to set up a fixed clinic which can provide regular antenatal check up throughout the period of pregnancy particularly in the last trimester when the chance of complications are high. The same clinic can also provide basic care for delivery by trained midwives and other basic medical care. In fact in Bangladesh in rural areas ordinary women without even any basic knowledge for clenliness perform delivery. I still remember how my only sister died after delivery from tetanus because they used something horrible to cut the cord. Perhaps you can simple train some women who live in the villages as say village midwives. I hope G E will contiue this noble work and expand their horzon in more areas of health care. Thanks.

I am originally from Bangladesh and I know the great work that Prof. Yunus has done through Grameen Bank. There are clearly health inequalities as the disparity between the rich and the poor increases. I work for Pfizer Ltd. and they too are partners with Grameen and I am so proud to be working in an industry where pharmaceutical companies go beyond the call of duty to serve the poor. These fine examples are not normally shared by critics of the industry who perpetuate the false notion that pharma companies only care about profits and share-prices. Congratulations to GE for partnering with Grameen and hope your project is a success. Hasan Ali Imam Network Manager Pfizer Ltd.
