Abstract

An Epidemic of Cesarean Deliveries at Khartoum Hospital in Sudan with Over Two-Fifths of Neonates Delivered through the Abdomen

A structured questionnaire was administered to each woman with a singleton neonate to gather information on obstetrics, sociodemographic characteristics and the mode of delivery.
