An informative, educational healthcare guide. It gave me an insight into healthcare for women in developing countries. Some parts were sad, some shocking. Women getting infected by STDs due to husbands being unfaithful while away on work assignments. It seemed accepted culture that the men would do this so the focus was on prevention/prophylactics, recognising symptoms of disease and getting medicines. Another section on birthing kids, advice was not to press down on the woman's stomach to get the child out! This was a random book from my library that I didn't expect to finish or get so absorbed in the practical counsel.
