Egypt reduces high cesarean rates
The article discusses the efforts of the Egyptian Ministry of Health to reduce the rates of cesarean births, which have reached 73% of all deliveries. Egypt is among the countries with the highest rates worldwide, and this situation presents a health challenge due to the increased demand for incubators and the risks associated with premature births. Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar explained that the ministry is working to promote natural childbirth through training and motivating healthcare staff, as well as providing free services for first-time deliveries. Additionally, measures are being implemented to hold healthcare providers accountable for unjustified cesarean cases. He also noted that the high rates are partly due to a misconception that cesarean sections are easier, despite the fact that natural childbirth can take longer and pose a greater challenge to Egypt’s healthcare system.
