Egypt's high C-Section rates under the microscope: new study aims to find solutions

NCT ID NCT07194876

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will review medical records of 770 women who had C-sections in two hospitals in Assiut, Egypt, during 2026. Researchers will use the WHO's Robson classification system to group women by factors like age and pregnancy history, to see which groups have the most C-sections. The goal is to understand why rates are so high and find ways to improve care for mothers and babies.
