Egypt Confronts Rising C-Section Rates
The article addresses the rising rates of cesarean deliveries in Egypt, which increased from 51.8% in 2014 to approximately 79% in 2025. The Ministry explains that this surge is accompanied by health challenges, including an increase in maternal deaths among new mothers, which reached 44.5 deaths per 100,000 in 2025, as well as a rise in neonatal mortality rates from 11 to 18 per thousand. The Ministry emphasizes the need to improve maternal care, with proposals that include strengthening adherence to medical guidelines, reducing unnecessary risks, supporting natural birth programs, and providing free family planning methods, all aimed at minimizing over-reliance on cesarean sections and ensuring a healthy and safe start for both mother and child.
