Health official emphasizes necessity over elective cesareans
The Ministry of Health has confirmed that cesarean deliveries are not the standard procedure, but rather occur only in medical cases that necessitate it. It clarified that the Ministry does not oppose the procedure altogether but aims to reduce unnecessary, medically unjustified cesarean births. The Ministry has launched regulatory measures that include monitoring delivery procedures in hospitals, raising awareness among doctors and women about the risks of resorting to cesareans without medical necessity, and increasing community awareness about the importance of natural childbirth. Although cesarean rates have risen to 72% of all births in Egypt, with some facilities exceeding 81%, these measures are intended to preserve the natural course of childbirth and minimize unnecessary interventions.
