Around the Globe for Women's Health, 2013 A Practical Guide for the Health Care Provider

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Shirazian Taraneh, Gertz Erin

Couverture de l’ouvrage Around the Globe for Women's Health
In the increasingly globalized twenty-first century, cross-cultural communication and knowledge of culturally informed health practices are critical skills for women?s health providers. Around the Globe for Women?s Health is a concise, culturally sensitive, and clinically relevant guide that aims to increase health equity through prevention and improved clinical care for women around the world. Case-based chapters highlight clinical issues (such as obstetric fistula, malaria, and postpartum hemorrhage) and barriers to care (the unmet need for family planning, or limited radiotherapy in low-resource countries, for example). Around the Globe for Women's Health is a must-have resource not just for physicians considering working in another country, but all providers seeking to provide better care for diverse populations of women within the United States.
