The QUALI-DEC team is pleased to announce the publication by LIEPP – Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire d’Evaluation des Politiques Publiques (Sciences Po research platform), of an article based on an interview with Alexandre DUMONT (gynecologist-obstetrician, director of research at IRD, epidemiological researcher at Ceped-Université Paris Cité and scientific coordinator of the Quali-Dec project).
Discover the contents of this article, which draws up an alarming account of the abusive practice of caesarean sections around the world, explaining:
- why this is a “silent health crisis”,
- how the QUALI-DEC international research project has been designed, financed and deployed with concrete effects in terms of health policies (Argentina…) to help reduce the number of non-medically justified caesarean sections, by helping pregnant women and healthcare professionals to make the right choice of delivery mode and thus make appropriate use of caesarean sections!
