Let Your Voice Be Heard—Help Save Women's Lives Jhpiego's Innovations Team is among the finalists of "Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development," an international competition to identify and scale up global health approaches to saving the lives of pregnant women and newborns in developing countries during childbirth. As part of the competition, an online campaign is under way to select the People's Choice winner from among 77 candidates. Jhpiego's two entries deserve your support: E-Partogram is an affordable, easy-to-use, hand-held electronic decision-making tool for preventing or managing complications during labor.  Application for Transition Grant is a series of interventions designed for earlier detection of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia—the second leading cause of maternal death worldwide—and initiation of treatment and referral to emergency obstetric care. You can cast your votes for these worthy projects by going to the Saving Lives at Birth web site and register to vote: http://www.savinglivesatbirth.net/innovation/summaries (look for Jhpiego!) THE DEADLINE IS JULY 27. VOTE NOW AND OFTEN. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
