Health care provider's perceived factors for the increased practice of caesarean delivery in North West Amhara referral hospitals, Ethiopia, 2022: a qualitative study
Caesarean deliveries were observed to be performed based on subjective or approximate indications, rather than clear obstetric indications. Encouraging greater emphasis on trial of labor, instrumental delivery, and performing caesarean deliveries only when there are definitive obstetric indications, rather than for social or maternal requests, can contribute to reducing the prevalence of caesarean delivery rates.
