Description/Abstract
Cesarean sections (c-sections) are the most crucial and effective method of delivery to prevent maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although a c-section is necessary in many cases, such as malpresentation of the fetus, arrest of cervical dilatation or fetal descent, fetal distress, or maternal health, the overuse of this method of delivery could impact maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, if completed unnecessarily. C-section rates are increasing worldwide and have become a public health concern (Parveen et al., 2021).
