dc.description.abstract | It has been said that those who forget history will have to repeat it, since medical history by exposing the facts and results allows the development of prudence and foresight. The history of disease stretches very far back in time, for as long as man has existed he has been tormented by disease. The history of medicine considers the development of the art of healing from ancient times. The practice of medicine is in a continuous state of evolutionary progress, with today’s advances being considered outdated and outmoded tomorrow. This book reviews the evolution of maternity care in the Maltese Islands since the advent of man to the archipelago and correlates this to the contemporary midwifery being practised on the mainland. By searching for the historical roots of maternity care concepts; the book hopefully facilitates a closer understanding of present practice. | en_GB |
