"Practical Obstetrics & Gynaecology Handbook for the General Practitioner is written clearly and concisely. It covers the spectrum of common conditions that are likely to present to the family practitioner and provides a simple review with key points on management of these conditions. The liberal use of tables and charts makes it very useful as a quick reference handbook in busy clinics. KK Women's and Children's Hospital continues to have the highest patient load in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Singapore. As the national hospital for women, it is indeed appropriate that such a practical handbook be published under its auspices.
