TO EXAMINE THE DISTRIBUTION OF CAESAREAN DELIVERIES USING THE ROBSON TEN GROUP CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (RTGCS)
Background: Caesarean section is a major surgery that comes with risks for both mothers and babies, both in the short and long term.Over the past few decades, the number of caesarean births has increased dramatically around the world.According to the World Health Organization, the global rate is now 25.7%, which is much higher than the recommended maximum of 15%.Many of these surgeries are done without a clear medical reason-sometimes just because the mother requests it.This shows the need for better education, monitoring, and understanding around caesarean births.One helpful tool for this is the Robson Ten Group Classification System (RTGCS).It's a widely used method that groups pregnant women based on certain 1013| International Journal of Pharmacy Research & Technology | Jan -May 2025| Vol 15| Issue 1 characteristics, helping hospitals and health systems see which groups are having the most caesareans and why.This can guide efforts to safely lower unnecessary caesarean rates and improve outcomes for mothers and babies.Objective: To examine the distribution of caesarean deliveries using the Robson Ten Group Classification System (RTGCS)
