Dear all

Last week I saw a little bit, in a Portuguese channel (SIC Noticias), a program of Panorama BBC named "Dead mums don't cry". This program speeks about the mums and future mums helth, on the Central Hospital in N'Djanema (capital of Chade or Tjade). I was chocked with the
Dr Grace Kodindo (an obstetrician) report.
Bellow you can find a litle report of the BBC web site:

"Panorama filmed with Grace in a state hospital as she struggled to save lives from eclampsia - a preventable condition almost unheard of in the West. Everyday she deals with women who suffer the results of clinical delay. And she tries desperately to help women at risk from trying to end their pregnancies - including young girls. Women in Chad have a 1 in 11 chance of dying during pregnancy or in childbirth. The risk for women in the UK is 1 in 5100."...........Cutting maternal mortality by three quarters by 2015 was one of the eight Millennium Development Goals set by 189 countries in 2000. Five years on, progress is far behind schedule - and Panorama revealed it's slowest on the goals that affect women and children."

On report she said that the first needs are:

Textiles for beds
Magnesium to avoid eclampsia
Oxigen
Needles
and litlle accesories for the first needs

We have one case that was a new brand mother that escapes to death because her family saved buying

Phisiologic serum - cost Eur. 1,00
catheter- Eur 0,33
Needle - Eur 0,10
Blod = not avaiable at hospital , one of her family gave blod to help .

One family earns per month only Eur 23,00

"Cutting maternal mortality by three quarters by 2015 was one of the eight Millennium Development Goals set by 189 countries in 2000. Five years on, progress is far behind schedule - and Panorama revealed it's slowest on the goals that affect women and children."

I will be mother for first time in about 1 month, and I do care about the conditions that I will have at Hospital.

The reason of my e-mail is requesting help from associations that are aware of how to help, persons like me that have force to help.

My name is Lucia Vieira Moreira, I'm 26 years old I live in Oporto Area - Portugal, I work at Oporto Airport I'm operational forwarder the company that I work for is BAX GLOBAL, I know and deal with many fabrics of textiles and medicines.
I already send this msg to the following institutions:

Still at moment .... no reply from them !

I only have to know how to start helping the N'Djanma hospital, and I need a credible institution behind me and suporting me, without that I can't start collect money.
At this momment you are my last chance, PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY

Hoping that you will take a look on this e-mail and help !!!!!!!
