This book provides cutting edge information on safe motherhood in a
global context. The chapters focus on research, program development
and implementation, and policy dealing with various aspects of
pregnancy, labor and delivery. Safe motherhood is a critical issue
since healthy, safe motherhood is the prerequisite for a healthy,
productive society. Writing about the situation in their countries,
the authors are from Eastern Europe, America, Asia and Africa and
are academic scholars and health practitioners. The book is
multidisciplinary with scholars from sociology, gender studies,
economics, social policy, social geography, population management
and political science. Topics include lactation policy and
misunderstandings of lactations in African countries and in the
United States; postnatal stress disorder that is either
understudied or not considered as a problem in many developing
countries; potential causes of a decline of maternal health in
democratizing states; the effect of geographical environment on
reproductive health; and revelation of mysteries of consequences of
pre-birth pain in the early life of children. Case studies provide
examples of successful model programs. Solutions offered are based
on utilizing available resources and technology in ways that
maximize education and training of local health professionals and
family members. This book was published as a special issue of
Marriage and Family Review.
