A national assessment of elective cesarean sections in Bangladesh and the need for health literacy and accessibility

Awan Afiaz et al.

Summary: There has been a gradual increase in the number of cesarean sections (CSs) in Bangladesh, with one in five births being elective CS deliveries. Women from affluent households, with educated house-heads, who received antenatal care, had regular access to media, and owned a mobile phone were more likely to opt for elective CSs. Spatial analysis revealed that women in larger cities had higher rates of elective CS deliveries, indicating better healthcare availability and multiple safe delivery options in peripheral areas.
