NCT ID NCT06090695
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at Cesarean section (C-section) rates in Uganda, where national averages hide big differences between rich and poor, urban and rural women. Researchers will track over 11,000 deliveries at multiple hospitals to see who gets a C-section, why, and what happens to mothers and babies afterward. The goal is to understand both overuse and underuse of this life-saving surgery.
