The leading maternity hospital in the country, the Hospital de la Mujer y la Maternidad de la Altagracia is launching a nationwide advertising and educational campaign to encourage adolescents to avoid getting pregnant. The campaign, sponsored by pharmaceutical company Sanofi Aventis, is entitled "Don't skip life" (No te saltes la vida).
