Instituting protocols and guidelines have been shown to improve patient safety, communication, and quality outcomes. Thus, the
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Zambia and the University Teaching Hospital sought to develop and formerly adopt a comprehensive set of clinical protocols and guidelines. This booklet highlights common obstetric and
gynaecologic conditions in Zambia and management thereof that is pertinent to our setting. We believe the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Protocols and Guidelines will promote good medical decision-making, particularly for trainees, and advance standardized clinical practice not only at the University Teaching Hospital but also throughout Zambia.
