Publisher's Synopsis

On The Mortality Of Childbed And Maternity Hospitals is a book written by James Matthews Duncan in 1870. The book explores the high mortality rates of women who gave birth in hospitals during the 19th century. Duncan, a Scottish obstetrician and gynecologist, conducted extensive research on the topic and presented his findings in this book. He analyzed the causes of maternal deaths in hospitals and proposed solutions to reduce mortality rates. The book is divided into several chapters, each discussing a specific aspect of maternal mortality. Duncan also included statistical data and case studies to support his arguments. The book is considered a significant contribution to the field of obstetrics and gynecology and was influential in improving the quality of care for women during childbirth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
