• At least the London Summit on Family Planning is renewing attention and hopefully global commitment to family planning and access to contraceptives, underwritten by the financial power of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Philippines is one of the countries which had a delegation at the Summit. All we as forum members can do is watch and wait – well done Lastlid and CBM for raising the topic, also Terpe, Graham, Arthur, Jamesey, and Sars_notd_virus for contributing ! As far as I’m aware it has not been discussed previously here.
• My separate thread on Mums and kids (http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....ippines-and-UK ) hopefully complements this, and reminds interested members that there are other factors in improving their health – I’ve tried to keep it free of politics and religion as that’s beyond my expertise.
