Frequency Of Unnecessary Caesarean Section In Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital

    The unnecessary caesarean section is common now a day. It is done due to many reasons with absolute indication, relative indication and no indication. It is possible to predict that the Sustainable Development Goals may be hampered by the overuse, unsafe provision, and unmet need of CS. All health systems must ensure that all women have timely access to caesarean sections when necessary because they are absolutely necessary to save lives in cases where vaginal deliveries would be dangerous. The study's design was cross-sectional descriptive. From October 2020 until January 2021, it was carried out. In all, 376 questionnaires were completed using secondary data from patient records in the gynecology record room of the Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital (TCTH) Lahore. The research is based on data on the most recent birth of ever-married women between the ages of 15 and 45 who have since given birth. study findings have revealed the absolute indications, relative indications and no indication. 48.2% women had absolute indications of cesarean section, 23.3% had relative indication and 28.4% cesarean section done without indications. Moreover, it also shed light on the pros and cons of unnecessary cesarean.
