Key Features
* The editors' deep concern for women's health issues is easily visualised through a comprehensive chapter on 'Safe Motherhood' and the emphasis on 'Fundamentals of Reproduction' as an opening chapter, at the same time not ignoring important players like endocrinal and immunological components.
* The various obstetric and medical complications in the antenatal period are covered by topics on normal and abnormal labour including operative deliveries. This ends with details related to normal and complicated puerperium.
