Each year there are 10 million deaths among newborns (including
stillbirths), children, and adolescents, as well as from maternal
causes. These deaths are mostly preventable with existing
interventions - a major injustice in todays world. The vast
majority happen in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, yet the
dangers facing women and children are relevant everywhere. While
middle- and high-income countries have lower mortality rates
overall, there are still major inequalities in outcomes within
these countries. To improve health outcomes for women and children
around the world, more data on the burden of disease and evidence
of intervention effectiveness are crucial. The Oxford Textbook of
Global Health of Women, Newborns, Children, and Adolescents is the
first comprehensive book on this topic. Written by experts in the
field, this invaluable source takes a lifecourse approach to
health. Following women from adolescence to motherhood, it covers
sexual and reproductive health, HIV, pregnancy, mental health, and
much more. Child development is traced from conception through to
pregnancy, the newborn period, and into childhood and adolescence,
with topics including newborn care, nutrition, infections, and
injuries. This comprehensive resource asks uncomfortable but
necessary questions about the determinants of health, such as
maltreatment, injury, and malnutrition, and looks at how to
influence policy and inspire change. Divided into eight sections
and following the lifecourse, the Oxford Textbook of Global Health
of Women, Newborns, Children, and Adolescents has a clear
structure, helpful illustrations, and study questions in each
chapter. Easy to use, it is the ideal textbook for students and
practitioners in health care or global health. Looking to the
future, it is also an invaluable starting point for policymakers
and anyone with a general interest in the subject area. With
practical case studies and examples from high and low-resource
settings, this book is a unique resource for those involved in
women's and children's health everywhere.
