EDITORIAL Family Medicine Obstetrics: A Wide Spectrum of Training and Practice

Abstract

Optimal maternal child health outcomes depend in part on access to providers who are prepared to manage complications
that not uncommonly arise during pregnancy and childbirth, including surgical delivery when indicated. While there is room
to improve our knowledge about the indications for cesarean section, there is no doubt that this procedure is at times a necessary and even life-saving procedure for some women and infants.
