While the emphasis is on midwife aspects in women's care, it is really a book on female medical care in developing countries. As such a lot of the information is not appli0cable to most medical care in the USA. However, it would be of great use if TSHTF. Some of the basic assumptions, the woman may not even have a bed to lie on when giving birth, nor access to good food, water, and sanitary supplies, make it a valuable tool for "ditch" medicine and if nothing else, will make all of us grateful for what we take for granted, even the poorest in most of the USA receive medical care unavailable to most of the world.
