Respectful Maternity Practices for Labour, Birth and the Postnatal Period is a must-read for obstetricians, doctors, midwives, nurses, and students seeking to enhance their knowledge and clinical practice. It's more than a textbook: it's a call to action, fostering compassion, and ensuring that every woman and baby receives the respectful, high-quality care they deserve.
