Controversy in Turkey as Sanctions Target 100 Doctors Over Cesarean Sections
The Turkish Ministry of Health has imposed fines and disciplinary measures on around 100 obstetricians and gynecologists due to the rising rates of cesarean deliveries, which reached approximately 615 procedures per 1,000 births in 2023—one of the highest rates among OECD countries. This comes as part of a new health policy aimed at addressing the declining birth rate, sparking widespread anger among doctors, some of whom face dismissal and suspension, followed by mandatory training before practicing again. These measures are seen as an attempt to curb the excessive reliance on cesarean sections, which are attributed to factors related to the healthcare system and legal considerations.
