This book, based on empirical data, examines the effects of husband participation in maternal healthcare in a comparative study of slums and rural areas of Delhi. Husband participation in maternal healthcare is an essential component of women's health and is being talked about as an important policy consideration at the national and international levels. With hardly any research studies done on this topic, this book fills the academic gap in the area of health. A wide range of professionals and academicians who are working on maternal and child health, and family wellbeing would find this book beneficial.
