developing countries such as Pakistan, will often deliver C-section babies
without there being a need to do so. She cleared this misconception and
stated that it is unfair to assume the intentions of doctors who deliver C
section babies.
She went on to explain that there is a lack of clear guidelines that dictate
when the C-section should be performed or not, which then results in being
a large variation in when it is performed. In most cases, a C-section should
be performed if a complication arises during delivery.
