Importance of Pathology in MRCOG Part 1

Pathology is crucial in obstetrics and gynaecology as it provides the foundation for understanding the causes, mechanisms, and manifestations of diseases affecting the female reproductive system. A strong grasp of pathology is essential for diagnosing, managing, and treating gynaecological conditions, as well as understanding complications that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth.
