Our people were so charged by the pep talk and valuable suggestions to reduce maternal mortality given in the maternal mortality reduction meeting (see my previous post), that they were rearing to go. They had a lot of suggestions on how to carry the message far and wide.
"Let us have bumper stickers made. They could read - Zero Maternal Mortality" one of them said.
"We could get BEST and State Transport to carry the message on the back of the buses - Drive Safely, Prevent Maternal Deaths" another one said. "And like they put next to the driver - Today is the Day of Zero Maternal Deaths."
"They write that in buses?" someone asked incredulously.
"Of course not, silly" came the answer. "They write 'Today is the Day of Zero accidents' next to the driver."
"That message for gynecologists about putting stethoscope in the ears seems important" a third person said. "Perhaps we could have T-shirts made to carry that message."
"We could help" one of the students said. "We have this annual college festival going on. There is a T-shirt design competition. If we give this theme, we could have a few good designs to choose from. I could do one right now."
"Please do" a lot of us said. Here is what he made on the fly. It shows the front and the back of the proposed T-shirts.
"Cool" the third person said.
"If we wear it to the maternal death audit meeting of the quality assurance committee, they will know we mean business, and will not harass us unduly" an optimist said.
