The book is designed to offer comprehensive knowledge of gynaecology to students at the undergraduate level. The book will cover all the routine topics in gynaecology which have been suitably updated with the inclusion of entirely new information on evidence-based medicine and its application in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. The book will also cover all the recent advances in the field of GYN. Newer diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have become available and should be known to students and the older obsolete methods discarded. The book will adopt a rights based approach to introduce this concept at the undergraduate level itself. The aim is to invite students to understand the ethical and legal aspects of many GYN problems and analyze them from a human rights aspect.
This book will help medical students understand the subject more easily and gain an in-depth knowledge of obstetrics and gynaecology. Unlike most other books each book will have key terms at the beginning of each chapter, the key points summarizing important areas of information at the end of each chapter along with a section to include the important questions for each chapter.
