Description
Mother and Child Health: Delivering the Services provides an overview of the services and programmes which provide mothers and their children with effective primary health care. The authors present a practical philosophy to guide health workers who organize and implement preventive and curative care for mothers and children, particularly in developing countries. This third edition follows the first two in design but has been completely updated to take into account changes in the social, ecological, and biological backgrounds of many countries.
