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!
