Multiple Pregnancy
Multiple pregnancies are on the increase. They are associated
with high perinatal morbidity and mortality, and are a substantial
load on health service resources. There are also many controversies
concerning management. The aim of this one-day conference is to discuss
the latest evidence, and to consider relevant aspects of the care of
multiple pregnancy.
