This book addresses a complication of pregnancy, which tests the skills of the obstetrician as far as decision-making is concerned. The extent of neonatal services available largely determines the course of management that we choose in such a patient. In a low resource setting, where obstetric and neonatal services are not at their best decision making, the management is more difficult.

Our current era of globalization, war, and socioeconomic unrest has revealed public health as a worldwide concern and a major frontier for social justice with maternal and child health at its epicenter. Yet, there has been a relative scarcity of textbooks specifically dedicated to this crucial area. Maternal and Child Health: Global Challenges, Programs, and Policies addresses this gap by analyzing the range of socioeconomic and environmental factors, health care disparities, politics, policies, and cultural practices that impact the health and safety of mothers, as well as the well-being and optimum development of their children.

The RCOG’s global network has enabled it to draw examples from countries as diverse as Afghanistan and Egypt to produce an overview of the challenges still remaining. This book will prove an essential tool for all those trying to tackle the issues of delivering Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 within the next 4 years.

Turning the World Upside Down explores what richer countries can learn from poorer ones and suggests that, instead of talking of international development - where the richer help the poorer - we should think in terms of co-development, each learning from the other. By bringing together insights from all parts of the world, the book sets out a new vision for global health, based on our interdependence, our desire for independence and on our rights and accountabilities as citizens of the world.
