Kudos and Comments from Around the World – June/July 2007
On behalf of CEDPA, I feel honored that I was part of the team which worked on the handbook. Hope this is used extensively in the field and as was discussed at the last meeting in Geneva, we should have a plan to disseminate this new book soon in the field. Hope this would result in providers giving evidence based advice to their clients.

I have asked around several of my colleagues who had the opportunity to review the prepublication of the FP handbook and all think very highly of this publication. It is a honor for JSI to be added to the list of contributing organizations to use and promote this handbook in the field projects throughout the world. I have copied our librarian and will coordinate with him to order copies at the prepublication price. Congratulations to your department and to JHSPH for this excellent contribution to the cause of reproductive health.

I have just returned from the DR, where I was working with PROFAMILIA. Once more I realized that the Handbook will be a tremendous help to providers and policy-makers. The dissemination will be a key point.
