"You and your team have really outdone yourselves: Pop Reports J-56 Communication for Better Health plus the companion "Tools" and "Education Entertainment" reports have provided me with a superb how-to package written in a very succinct, user-friendly style. There is so much good stuff in the package that I'd hate to have to pick the most useful. In any event I'm already recommending various topics to my colleagues here in Pakistan."

"Thank you for the information you sent to us. (Population Reports issue “Family Planning Choices for Women With HIV” and companion INFO Reports issue, “Women and HIV: Questions Answered.") The report has a paramount importance to address the family planning issues in the PMTCT program. My organization, Intrahealth International, is working in partnership with the federal ministry of health and local ministry of health offices to avert the pediatric infections through implementing comprehensive ANC/PMTCT program in 248 health centers in all administrative regions in the country.
"To complement the PMTCT program we have devised a mother support group, which is a forum for mothers living with HIV/AIDS get together every week for four hours discussing their issues to find their own solution. We found the forum an enabling environment for mothers to access family planning methods along with counseling and advices on family planning. Partners/ husbands are also actively participating in this forum and also they are playing their role in family planning. Therefore, this report will be shared among the staff coordinating the site level program and to use it effectively.”

"I hope that you are getting positive feedback on the Pop Report on Breastfeeding and the companion FAQ. They were both very well done. Could we promote the documents on our website and offer them (as PDFs) for people to download from our site? For a limited amount of time, people could also request hard copies from us. Since many people come to our website seeking information on breastfeeding, this would be a way of reaching people who might not otherwise be aware of your publications. If this is agreeable to you, could you please send us the pdfs?"

"I wish to express to you my deep appreciation for the Population Reports I have been receiving and reading for several years, regardless the country in which I have temporarily worked or resided. The valuable information provided in each of your Reports has been the source of data and guidelines for several of my writings and talks on family planning and population policies.
"At present, I have been engaged in a tough polemics about the right of women and male sterilization in Chile, since the Ministry of Health has issued more flexible norms for women and men to have access to sterilization services in the state s hospitals and clinics. The catholic church and rightist politicians are questioning those norms for the common people, but they hide the fact that high class women have a quite free access to sterilization in private health services, for a payment starting from US$6000 and up, equivalent to the corresponding Chilean pesos."
"Your Population Reports were again very useful for writing my paper El Derecho a la Esterilización Femenina y Masculina , just published by the digital newspaper PRIMERA LINEA (www.primeralinea.cl), whose reprint I am please to enclose with this message; and, also by the Chilean biweekly magazine PUNTO FINAL, # 490, Febrero, 2001.
"I iterate my acknowledgment for your contribution and support to the reproductive health and population professionals."
