The field of obstetrics is achieving ever increasing prominence. Knowledge, technology and medications to treat conditions have advanced considerably and have paved the way for better perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Advances in genetics, ultrasound and pharmacology need to be understood by doctors who want to practice in the modern era. This book is a synthesis of knowledge covering these aspects from multiple international authors, and will serve as an excellent reference book for students, general practitioners and trainees in obstetrics.
