Norma,
Sorry if this offends anyone, but I couldn't help laughing at the irony of
an ABM company sponsoring a perinatal mortality conference--what with 1.5
million or so  world-wide infant deaths attributed to ABM!

Anyway, I would send a copy of the WHO code to the hosp administrators and
organizers of the event. They might not be aware of the code. However, I
doubt anything will change--hosp. take lots of "grants" from anyone--abm
companies, biomed corporations, etc.

If the conference is free, you'll probably be doing a public service to
attend and set the record straight if any "info" comes up with respect to abm.
