Responding to the growing need for tried-and-trusted solutions to
the reproductive health care issues confronting millions of women
worldwide, Obstetrics and Gynecology in Low-Resource Settings
provides practical guidelines for ensuring the delivery of quality
OB/GYN care to women in resource-poor countries. Including
contributions from leading clinicians and researchers in the field,
this welcome overview fills an important gap in existing medical
literature on women's health care and will be an invaluable
resource for doctors, clinicians, and medical students at all
stages of their careers who work in the global health arena. The
reproductive health risks that all women face are greatly
exacerbated when health care facilities are inadequate, equipment
and medications are in short supply, and well-trained medical staff
are few and far away. Often in these settings, the sole doctor or
medical professional on hand has expertise in some areas of women's
reproductive care but needs a refresher course in others. This
informative guide features hands-on, step-by-step instruction for
the most pertinent OB/GYN conditions-both acute and chronic-that
health care workers in the field confront. The authors examine a
wide range of topics, including: strategies to reduce maternal
mortality and stillbirths; infectious and sexually transmitted
diseases, including malaria and HIV; cervical cancer;
contraception; prenatal, delivery, and newborn care; and
complications arising from gender-based violence and female genital
cutting. Published in a convenient format with a durable binding,
this reference will be an essential companion to health care
providers throughout the world.
