On 17-19 April, leading global health experts, policy makers and parliamentarians will gather in South Africa for Countdown to 2015 -- a conference on child and maternal mortality. This is one in a series of related stories.
MOUNTING HAMADY, Senegal, 10 April 2008 -- Bintou Sabaly, 21, has given birth to three healthy children in the remote Senegalese village of Mounting Hamady, where no one has access to running water or electricity.
Ms. Sabaly says the biggest development in her recent memory was the creation of the new health centre, located just 5 km away, which serves 10,000 people from 35 surrounding villages. The centre has a pharmacy, examination rooms and even a delivery room
"In my village, there is only a small medical station, which is very basic," she says. "For me and other women in my village, this health centre is very important because without it, we would need to travel 30 or 40 kilometres, which is very expensive."
