Description
Addressing the reasons for the dramatic decline (over the last 50 years, in all developed countries) in the deaths of mothers and babies in childbirth, Tew, a medical research statistician, persuasively discredits the medical profession's claims of its own central role via obstetrical management of in-hospital care, and provides evidence that safety in childbirth is primarily a function of the good health of mothers, made possible by rising standards of living and nutrition.
