Dying to Count

Post-Abortion Care and Global Reproductive Health Politics in Senegal

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dying to Count explores how national and global population politics collide in Senegalese hospitals as health workers treat and document women who present with complications of abortion. Siri Suh’s ethnography illustrates political, economic, professional, and technological factors that jeopardize quality of and access to obstetric care in public hospitals despite national and global commitments to reproductive health.
