Egypt C-section rate nears 80 percent
The article addresses the rising rate of cesarean births in Egypt, which increased from 51.8% in 2014 to approximately 80% by 2025, posing a significant health challenge. The Ministry of Health emphasizes the importance of reducing this unnecessary percentage to improve the quality of maternal and child healthcare and to ensure that cesarean deliveries are performed only when medically necessary. The ministry is working on redesigning the maternal and child care system, encouraging natural childbirth, promoting breastfeeding, and providing both material and moral support for a comprehensive care model that views childbirth as a physiological process. It is also noted that the rise in cesarean sections coincides with increases in maternal and neonatal mortality rates, which reached 44.5 and 18 per thousand, respectively. Efforts are underway to develop health services and improve perinatal care, with a strong emphasis on spacing pregnancies 3 to 5 years apart to protect the health of the mother and child.
