The Implications of Shortages of Health Professionals for Maternal Health in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper discusses the implications of shortages of midwives, nurses and doctors for maternal health and health services in sub-Saharan Africa, and inequitable distribution of maternal health professionals between geographic areas and health facilities.

This review assesses the evidence for the importance of growth monitoring's contribution to various programme objectives: f…

The domestic political and commercial environment ensures that an agency's aid programme conforms to the country's foreign policy and is responsive to domestic commercial interests, most notably through tied aid. Special interest groups also influence governments to change funding targets and…
