- Summary:
- Maternal and child morbidity and mortality affect women and children all over the world. In low resource settings, it is often the result of an illness which under other circumstances would be preventable and treatable. The disease burden predominately occurs in developing countries, but the dangers facing women and children are global issues. To improve conditions for women and children everywhere, we must address maternal and child health in their own right, and ask how they affect each other. This textbook presents a comprehensive study of the cycle of life. The development of children is traced from pre-natal through to newborns, childhood, and adolescence.
