This long-awaited revision of the widely used classic text, first published as "Midwifery" by the late Pauline McCall Sellers, is a comprehensive textbook that covers every conceivable aspect of midwifery. It is relevant for use in southern African and other developing regions, updated and in line with the International Council of Midwives and International Council of Nursing guidelines and standards, and is fully updated and revised to deal with HIV/Aids in pregnancy, childbirth and post-partum care. Basic aspects that have guided this edition include: 'skilled attendance' making the book accessible for any health professional as described by WHO (nurses, midwives and doctors); the Saving Mothers and Babies reports in South Africa; international developments within the ICN and ICM, and the newly developed World Health Organisation: Partnership for Africa for maternal, new-born and child care (2008) attention to obstetric emergency care aspects, and focus on nutrition and pharmacology in obstetrics by nutritionists and pharmacologists.
