Sylvia Namuwonge (L), along with her newborn baby, talks to Sarah Brown (R), wife of Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown, at Mulago Refferal hospital in Kampala November 24, 2007. Sarah Brown was in Uganda to tour the maternity units of Mulago and Naguru Community Health Centre, with officials from the UK’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, as part of her interest in global maternal health care, while Prime Minister Brown attended the CHOGM meetings. In Uganda, 6,000 women die annually from preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth, some of the 525,000 mothers who die every year throughout the developing world.
