than earlier.<\/li>\n<li>Fear of pain and a lack of motivation to deliver normally in certain sections of the upper-middle and high-income group.<\/li>\n<li>A C-section is medically necessary when

<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>The procedure is unavailable to many women in low-income countries and overused in many middle- and high-income countries.<\/li>\n<li>The wealthiest women in middle- and high-income countries were six times more likely to have a C-section compared with the poorest women where C-section was 1.6 times more common in private facilities than public facilities.<\/li>\n<li>Six out of 10 nations do too many C-sections and a quarter perform too few, the study found.<\/li>\n<li>Wide differences exist between rich and poor, public and private sectors, and between regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>While it is estimated that 10-15 percent of births medically require a C-section due to complications, most countries used C-section above the recommended level.<\/li>\n<li>Moreover the c-section surgery is not risk-free and has been linked to difficulties with future births.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Way forward:<\/strong> In cases where complications do occur, C-sections save lives, so its accessibility should be increased in poorer regions, making them universally available, but its overuse should be regulated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26762\"
