I had the opportunity to visit many of the medical institutions in this country and abroad. The feedback that I received from the teachers and students was invaluable. Many of these suggestions have been addressed to in this edition.
I do hope this comprehensive textbook will continue to be of immense educational resource to the readers as ever.
I am grateful to all who have taught me, most of all the patients and my beloved students. According to the author’s desire, the book is dedicated to the students of obstetrics—past and present, who strive continuously to improve maternal and newborn’s health, wherever they work.
