In the increasingly globalized twenty-first century, cross-cultural communication and knowledge of culturally informed health practices are critical skills for women’s health providers. Around the Globe for Women’s Health is a concise, culturally sensitive, and clinically relevant guide that aims to increase health equity through prevention and improved clinical care for women around the world. Case-based chapters highlight clinical issues (such as obstetric fistula, malaria, and postpartum hemorrhage) and barriers to care (the unmet need for family planning, or limited radiotherapy in low-resource countries, for example). Around the Globe for Women's Health is a must-have resource not just for physicians considering working in another country, but all providers seeking to provide better care for diverse populations of women within the United States.

Dr. Taraneh Shirazian is the Director of Global Health in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, NY. She is also the cofounder and Medical Director of Saving Mothers (www.savingmothers.org), a nonprofit dedicated to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality and improving the lives of women through prevention, education, training of local providers, and clinical outreach. Dr. Erin Gertz is the first Global Health Fellow in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She attended medical school at the University of Hawaii John A Burns School of Medicine and completed her residency training in Ob/Gyn at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.
