Abstract
An Epidemic of Cesarean Deliveries at Khartoum Hospital in Sudan with Over Two-Fifths of Neonates Delivered through the Abdomen
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Khartoum Hospital in Sudan from October to December 2011 to investigate the rate, types, and indications of cesarean delivery. A structured questionnaire was administered to each woman with a singleton neonate to gather information on obstetrics, sociodemographic characteristics and the mode of delivery.
