Description
Summary:In the increasingly globalized twenty-first century, cross-cultural communication and knowledge of culturally informed health practices are critical skills for womens health providers. Around the Globe for Womens 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.
