The third edition of The Management of Labour arms the practising obstetrician with clear, evidence-based guidelines to provide optimum care to the woman in labour and her unborn child. The editors and the contributing authors believe that better management of labour will result in a reduction in the rates of maternal mortality and morbidity and will help prevent neonatal death, especially in developing countries like India. This book has been popular in its earlier editions, both among postgraduates and practitioners.
