Publisher's Synopsis
Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a vital subject for students pursuing Medicine, Nursing, and other healthcare-related fields. Among these, Obstetrics plays a particularly crucial role, focusing on maternal and fetal health-key areas that directly impact the quality of healthcare systems worldwide. A strong grasp of this subject isn't just about academic success; it's about making a real difference in patient care, especially in reducing maternal mortality, a key indicator of healthcare quality.However, many medical students and practitioners find Obstetrics challenging. A lack of foundational knowledge and limited hands-on experience-especially in managing childbirth and performing essential procedures-often creates gaps in understanding. This book is designed to bridge those gaps, providing a practical and structured resource that covers everything from basic anatomy, reproductive physiology, and embryology to in-depth guidance on antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care. Meticulously researched and backed by the latest journals and Clinical Practice Guidelines from internationally recognized organizations such as NICE and RCOG, this book ensures accuracy and relevance. It features clear, well-organized tables, detailed explanations, and over 160 high-quality illustrations to enhance learning and improve procedural skills. Now in its third edition (2025), this book includes major updates, such as three new chapters on surgical management of postpartum hemorrhage, maternal mortality, and perinatal mortality. With an improved layout and expanded content, it is an even more valuable resource for medical students, postgraduate trainees, nurses, house officers, medical officers, specialists, and educators. Whether you're learning the fundamentals or refining your expertise, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to both the theory and practice of Obstetrics.
