Egypt Needs 9,000 Midwives to Cut C-Sections
The article pertains to Egypt’s efforts to reduce the rates of cesarean deliveries, which reached 79% according to the 2025 survey, up from 72% in 2021. The Ministry of Health has launched a training program to enhance the skills of midwives, aiming to increase their number to approximately 9,000 by the end of 2028. This initiative seeks to support maternal healthcare and minimize reliance on unnecessary cesarean sections. The program emphasizes both practical and theoretical training for midwives, in collaboration with international organizations such as UNICEF and the United Nations Population Fund. Its goal is to promote childbirth within healthcare facilities and improve mother and child care during the early stages of the child’s life. Additionally, regulatory guidelines will be developed to ensure safe and professional practice for midwives, thereby enhancing the quality of services provided.
