Open the link below to see the amazing success of Babymilk Action in the UK.  Wyeth who market SMA were planning a road-show round the Britain`s  shopping centres with happenings, information booths, balloons and gifts to promote SMA.  Babymilk Action managed to get enough health professionals and parents to protest and the events have been cancelled.

And here in Israel I am tearing my hair out because having taken a group from my prenatal course for a hospital tour last Friday, the midwife handed out a glossy brochure promoting their department, - with ads for two of the locally distributed fomrula companies.
