Dr Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Minister of Health and Population, said some doctors and families prefer to perform a caesarean section for women.
The Minister of Health and Population added, during a telephone interview with the media, Ahmed Moussa, on the program “On My Responsibility” broadcast on the Sada Al-Balad channel, that financial incentives are foreseen for women in natural childbirth.
Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar stressed that there is a danger to the mother and the fetus in the event of a caesarean section, but the mother’s wish is respected, stressing that Egypt has become the first in the world in the event of a caesarean section.
The Minister of Health and Population added that the state is working to educate citizens about the dangers of caesarean section, to protect the health of women and that of their children, explaining that the caesarean section affects the development of the fetus.
