Mama and Nunu 2 aims to increase the knowledge, expertise and capacity of health professionals and services to provide appropriate and culturally sensitive services to African women. This edition was updated in July 2010 and MN2 introduces several new topics alongside information covered in the previous edition. In doing so, we hope the information in MN2 will help to improve African women’s access to timely and appropriate services.
