The CIDRZ Foundation

In most of Africa, women are the poorest of the poor. Their health is often neglected until they are in crisis, unable to care for themselves or others. Even in childbirth, women are often left unattended. But through efforts of the CIDRZ Foundation, women's health in Africa is becoming a top priority, not just in treatment but also in research.
