Items related to Mother and Child Health: Delivering the Services
Thoroughly revised and nearly tripled in size, this benchmark formulation of public health philosophy is now even more relevant to today's world-wide problems. The authors show that the key to health lies in harnessing local resources rather than depending on expensive imports or commercial alternatives, and especially in extending services to women instead of making impractical demands on mothers.
