Pulmonary Embolism: Second Leading Cause of Cardiovascular Death

In an exclusive interview with TheRightDoctors on Emcure AICOG tv, Dr. C. N. Purandare, FIGO President, spoke about the increasing rates of caesarean section in India. This is what he said:

'In India the overall cesarean section rate is about 17.2% annually and it varies from city to city. W.H.O said that there should be between 10 and 15 to reduce maternal mortality.'

'There was a time and people said once a cesarean section not always cesarean section, which is a very disturbing trend as far as cesarean sections are concerned and I think today obstetrician need to really look at.'

'Today scenario no definitive number can be put as for cesarean section women who needs it must have it, FOGSI probably will follow what W.H.O and FIGO’s guidelines have now been accepted by W.H.O.'

'The W.H.O guidelines have also come out and as I categorically said that women in need must has a cesarean section.  There is no number unfortunately the 1985, 10-15% which was written by W.H.O is coated by everybody .'

'People feel that obstetrician do cesarean section because they are getting more money and there is money being exchange here 
FIGO has actually put in recommendation which I think all the obstetricians must start following that the charges for normal delivery and cesarean section the obstetrician charges should be same.'

'Nobody should say that you are charging more forceps cesarean section.  Of course, the normal delivery charges will to up because of standardization that will happen.'
