Mali: Women Clock Up Success With Maternal Mortality MDG

"Since January 2002, there's not been one case of neonatal or maternal mortality in Zegoua or any other nearby village,” Yaya Coulibaly, director of the Zegoua Community Health Centre, told a group of local and international journalists recently.
