Lessons at Indian Hospital About Births

Excerpt from article;

#1 "Doctors and midwives here earn salaries and are not paid by the procedure, so they have no financial incentive to perform surgery."

#2 "The hospital and doctors are federally insured against malpractice, in contrast to other hospitals, where private insurers have threatened to raise premiums or withdraw coverage if vaginal birth after Caesarean is allowed."

#3 "Couples often want more than two children, but repeated Caesareans increase the risk of each pregnancy, so doctors and patients are motivated to avoid the surgery."

I think it would make our heads spin at how fast and far the cesarean rate in our country would drop if just these three changes were implimented in our maternity care system and that is not even considering the difference that cutting out unnecessary inductions would make on those numbers.
