Women's Health in Africa

This volume contains the latest interdisciplinary research on women’s health issues in Africa. The range of issues covered is vast, including the HIV epidemic and its impacts; domestic violence; challenges related to maternal and neonatal deaths; the persistence of homebirths; health issues related to life stages including adolescence, childrearing and old age; and new research on CVDs and cancer screening. The research articles also include evidence-inspired policy recommendations. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Health Care for Women International.
