Proportion of Traditional Uvulectomy and Associated Factors Among Caregivers of Children Under Five‐Years Old Visiting Tibebe Ghion Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

The Proportion of traditional uvulectomy remains high in the study area, and it is associated with factors such as illiteracy, lack of ANC follow-up, rural residency, lack of awareness about the harmful effects of uvulectomy, and witnessing positive outcomes. Immediate actions should include increasing awareness through ANC counseling and educating caregivers on the risk of uvulectomy. Long-term solutions could involve policy changes and community-based interventions aimed at reducing the practice and its associated risks.
