Ambassadors
The Global Library of Women's Medicine would like to express their sincere thanks to all of those listed below who have kindly undertaken to act as "Ambassadors for GLOWM". Each received a sample of the GLOWM memory stick (which contains the whole of this website) and downloaded our entire site at appropriate medical schools, hospitals and clinics in their locality, which currently lack satisfactory internet connectivity.
They have also agreed to provide us with advice and feedback related to their local areas and the resources that we currently provide – and some of their comments are shown below.
We are most grateful to them for the time and help that they so kindly give us.
