“This book covers common women’s health issues that obstetrics/gynecologists face in different areas around the world … . The intent is to highlight the challenges in women’s healthcare globally. This is certainly a worthwhile goal and the authors do a good job of achieving it. The book is intended for residents and physicians who plan to participate in global initiatives. … This is an interesting book on global women’s health issues for obstetricians and gynecologists.” (Anthony Shanks, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2013)
