Sumario: | 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 overview is intended as a resource for doctors, clinicians, and medical students at all stages of their careers who work in the global health arena. The volume 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.-- |
