Health Minister urges cultural shift on cesareans
The Egyptian Minister of Health, Khaled Abdel Gafar,’s article focuses on the rising rates of cesarean births, which have reached a significantly high level compared to global standards, and the impact this has on the healthcare system and society. He explained that Egypt records about two million births annually, making the regulation of cesarean deliveries essential, especially considering the need to change societal attitudes and ensure that cesareans are performed only when medically necessary. He emphasized the importance of health awareness for families and women who are planning to marry, as well as strengthening oversight of medical practices.
