Bangladesh2,475 participantsStarted 2017-06-01

Plain-language summary

The objective of this study was to assess whether a package of 11 evidence-based maternity practices, combined with routine monitoring and Robson Classification, could reduce C-section rates in a semi-urban hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Our intervention targeted the key drivers of unnecessary caesarean section at CWCH: weak labour monitoring, low use of evidence-based induction/vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) criteria, limited consultant oversight of C-section indications, and insufficient antenatal counselling.
