''On The Mortality Of Childbed And Maternity Hospitals'' is a book written by James Matthews Duncan in 1870. The book explores the high mortality rate among women who gave birth in hospitals during the 19th century. Duncan, a Scottish obstetrician, conducted a study on the mortality rate of women who gave birth in hospitals and compared it to those who gave birth at home. He found that the mortality rate was much higher in hospitals due to unsanitary conditions, overcrowding, and lack of proper medical care. Duncan’s book also discusses the importance of hygiene and cleanliness in hospitals and the need for better medical training for doctors and nurses. He advocated for the use of antiseptics and other preventive measures to reduce the mortality rate of women giving birth in hospitals. The book is considered a landmark in the history of obstetrics and played a significant role in improving the conditions and practices of maternity hospitals. It is still relevant today as it highlights the importance of proper medical care and hygiene in reducing mortality rates in hospitals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
