Cesarean section rates in China exceeds that of US, accounting for nearly 35% of all deliveries.


The WHO recommends that the ‘ideal’ rate of C-section for optimum maternal and fetal outcome should be around 10-15%,[1]  although current statistics suggests it to be slightly higher at 19%.

A review of trends around the world shows that currently about 18.6% of births take place by Cesarean section.  Latin America and the Caribbean region has the highest CS rates (40.5%) while some countries in Africa have the lowest (7%). Brazil occupies the top slot with a rate that exceeds 50% (55.6%).

The rate in China have shown a substantial increase from 2008-2014, specially in inner cities and rural China. The rate jumped from 28.8% to 34.9% according to Hong-Tiang Li, MD, of Peking University Health Science Center in Beijing, and colleagues. The article was published online January 3, 2017 in JAMA.[2]

Some of the Urban city areas like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hangzhou did show a decrease in C section rate by 15%, with no compromise of maternal and perinatal mortality rates.

This descriptive study covered every county in China, utilizing the statistics collected by the Office for National Maternal & Child Health Statistics of China, from 2008 through 2014.

Over the span of 6 years there were 100,873,051 live births, of which 32,947, 229 (32.7%) were by cesarean delivery. Rates did show variations across provinces with some provinces with Cesarean section rate at 62.5% while others at  4%.

Better access to hospitals, medical litigations, financial incentives for physicians and people in general wanting to have safest option under one child policy are some of the reasons for increase in C-section rates.

Some women choose to have the C-section and births planned at a specific time after consulting fortune teller for ‘lucky’ birth time.

Public health officials are hoping to see an improvement with the ‘one child policy’ off the table now. Many parents are rethinking about natural births and visiting hospitals and clinics to enquire about it.
The government is also playing an active part by educating patients, physicians and other healthcare professionals to curtail the practice of ‘on-demand’ cesarean sections.

  5. Staying with Herpes is as easy as you think,but getting the cured seems confusing. I'm so happy because I'm free now from Herpes. I was very unhappy after the checkup and was diagnosed HSV 2 of which I know fully well I can't be cured with the Antibiotics, he prescribed for me the acyclovir(Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), andvalacyclovir (Valtrex). These are all taken in pill form. Severe cases may be treated with the intravenous I refuse to try it and went to another clinic for test and it still shows positive. I told the doctor about it and he said it's only by miracle and the prescribed he knows can't cure the virus by only keep fighting so it doesn't replenish always. I wasn't comfortable since I needed the cure.
    I was in a very sad moon,then I came back in two weeks and still shows the same. I tell you,does who knows understand what I'm saying.
    I'm saying this now because my believe leads me to understand that There's a CURE for HERPES.
    Of All English medicine you should know God gives us power over all living and non living creatures, don't feel bad now because I know being an Herpes patient for 3 years must have lost hope ,you can still get cure to CANCER, HPV,DIABETES, LOW SPARM COUNT,IRREGULAR OR PAINFUL MENSTRUATION, AND LOSTS HE WILL SHOW YOU AND YOU WILL FEEL THE WAY I DO NOW
    IT'S ALL I CAN DO TO HELP IF YOU LOVE TO KNOW

    I dedicated this to my Beloved Daughter Kaila who helped me get the cure for my CANCER. And Specially to Dr. Odey Abang the Herbalist directly for his interest to handle my situation even when I was told I could not be cured. It's a long story to court and pains being of such a Danger of CANCER, for 4months Glory be to God๐Ÿคฆ
    It was Cancer Stage 4, and ended up, though I had serious problems with my feet, inability to take in solid food or medicals for my cures. Has God directed my daughter not knowing he had cured her from HERPES of which I never thought he could cured for CANCER, You need to be free and not die of IGNORANCE. HERBAL MEDICINE from a reliable Herbalist stans to be the best remedies for cures. I had known Dr. Odey Abang over 3 years now on he's cures for Herpes Simplex Viruse and HIV/AIDS.
    I could testify to you now that he had successfully cures HIV/AIDS, Diabetes HPV HSV Cancer and much more of all infections and bacteria diseases

  8. I’m here to testify about what DR. ISIBOR did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. ISIBOR on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. ISIBOR prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. ISIBOR assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HIV, ALS, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. ISIBOR for help via email} drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or call +2348107855231
