The Zahedan University of Medical Sciences has succeeded in reducing first-time caesarean sections by 3.6% in 2023.

According to the public relations report, Ms. Leila Arabnejad, the Head of Midwifery Department, vice chancellery for Treatment Affairs at ZAUMS, said: “Despite the fact that the index of first-time cesarean section was increasing at the national level during 2023across the country, ZAUMS has managed to be among the top 4 universities in reducing first-time caesarean sections at the national level”.

She added that in addition to ZAUMS, the Kashan, Kerman and Zabol Universities of Medical Sciences, are also on the list of successful universities in reducing first-time caesarean sections in 2023.

She added that the reduction in cases of first-time cesarean sections is very important for the health system due to its importance in maintaining the health of the mother and the newborn.

The Head of the Midwifery Department of the Vice chancellery for Treatment Affairs at ZAUMS said: “ Normal vaginal delivery gives the fetus the opportunity to have the highest growth of brain cells, the respiratory system and the liver in the final days, and the fetus can complete its intrauterine growth. In normal vaginal deliveries, the mother and the newborn can embrace each other immediately, and the pregnant mother can breastfeed her newborn”.

She noted that this success has been achieved through the adoption of a systemic, interactive approach and supervisory measures by obstetrics & Gynecology specialists of the university in line with the implementation of the Population Youth laws.
