Description
This book deals with the central theme of freedom to practise midwifery in selected countries of the world. Each chapter has a separate
author who has specific knowledge of the country for that chapter either as a citizen or researcher. The underpinning theme of this
book is the philosophy of best midwifery practice - particularly that which is evidence-based. To clarify the meaning of the term, the
book includes an initial chapter that discusses the aims and realities of achieving ?best practice' - wherever in the world a midwife
may be and under whatever circumstances she may be working.
