Survey aims to cut unnecessary C-Sections by understanding Doctors' barriers
NCT ID NCT07308977
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study surveys 150 obstetricians at three large hospitals in Egypt to find out why they rarely use assisted vaginal birth (like forceps or vacuum) during delivery. The goal is to identify obstacles—such as lack of training or supervision—so that fewer C-sections are done unnecessarily. The study does not test any treatment; it only collects doctors' opinions through an online questionnaire.
