Abstract | Background: Cesarean delivery rate in Bangladesh has been increased rapidly, from 4% in 2004 to 23% in 2014. Caesarean sections (CS) cause severe complications and bring about bad consequences in maternal and child health. However, the factors responsible for the increased CS rates in Bangladesh and how the decision of CSs are made is not well understood. Objective of study: To identify the factors associated with the increased CS rates in Bangladesh and to explore how the decisions of CSs are made. Methodology: The study is based on literature review using peer reviewed articles and other published/unpublished literatures. The study used the framework (adopted from Sancheeta Ghosh) to explore the factors associated with the high CS rate. |
