Cited in Scopus: 0Politicians are responding more and more to the fact that Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 (reduction of infant mortality) and MDG 5 (improvement of maternal health) are still a long way from being achieved in 2015. The development of a Global Business Plan (GBP) during 2007 represented a new-found determination among development agencies and international stakeholders to reach these goals. The GBP reflected the frustration that after 20 years of the “Safe Motherhood” initiative, little progress has been made. - Editorial

Cited in Scopus: 0On a recent visit to Nigeria, in particular to the Northern States Kano and Kaduna, I [WK] became aware of the needs of the obstetrical services, especially in rural areas. Plenty of information is already available about the high maternal and infant mortality in such states.

Cited in Scopus: 0What's new?Reviews: Investigating genetic polymorphism in defined diseases is going to open a completely new field of research. No longer are the end-products of this polymorphism – enzymes and proteins in the circulating blood – the focus of research, but the alterations at the cellular and chromosomal level itself.
