Notes:: 8 p., Targeted at some of Haiti's poorest and most vulnerable women, the Free Obstetric Care project offers free assisted childbirth and consultations to those who cannot afford to pay. This booklet looks at the impact of the project after its launch in 2008. Following the devastation caused by the January 2010 earthquake, the project will need to rebuild -- but its record documented in these pages, makes a compelling case not just to reestablish but to extend it to the whole country. Indeed, the experience of the SOG project demonstrates how free obstetric care can help to build the future health of women and newborns across Haiti.
