This month's Essence has a definite international flavour to it. Coinciding with International Day of the Midwife on 5th May, our main article focuses on the work of SafeHands for Mothers and how you can help support our campaign to assist in reducing maternal morbidity rates in developing countries. Nancy Durrell McKenna offers an insight into her experience of filming and recording maternal care in Sierra Leone, while midwife, Sam Perkins, gives a compelling report of her trip to Uganda with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). This is just a taster of this month's news.

We would love to hear from you. Until next month. From the Essence team
