Support precious deliveries
This Christmas, will you help precious bundles of joy arrive safe and well – by sending a gift that could provide medical books?
The medical books you help us send provide life-saving information.
In Bwindi, Uganda, they’re helping midwives like Mariam bring babies safely into the world.
But there are still too many midwives in Uganda and around the world who don’t have the books they need to safely deliver babies. Your donation this Christmas could make all the difference.
Mariam’s story
Mariam was inspired to become a midwife by her grandmother – a traditional birth attendant – and used books people like you helped us send to excel in her studies. Now, she’s joining us in asking you to donate this Christmas so that others can benefit from books too – and make more precious deliveries possible.
I feel fortunate that I went to a nursing and midwifery school where we had up-to-date medical books, thanks to wonderful people like you. I recall a time when we had a breach delivery, where the baby’s bottom is first. The manoeuvres I got from Myles for Midwives helped me save the baby and the mother.

Midwives worldwide need more books
In so many communities worldwide, health professionals and students are struggling to access up-to-date medical information. Libraries often don’t have the funds to keep their collections current. Students can’t afford to buy their own copies. Online information may not be correct, and patchy internet makes it even more unreliable.
Not having access to the latest medical knowledge affects students, practitioners and patients – but with books, the picture changes. Your gift this Christmas will send more books and help more midwives like Mariam deliver the high quality care that every mum deserves.
Will you be part of the next precious delivery?
This Christmas, will you help midwives and other health practitioners to access the latest medical insights and knowledge?
From anatomy texts for students to practical guides for medical staff in rural locations, your gift will help send books worldwide to places they’re most needed.
