Karnataka to Introduce Labour Analgesia in Govt Hospitals to Reduce C-Sections - Video
|
Overview
The Karnataka health department is planning to introduce labour analgesia options in government hospitals to curb the rising C-section delivery rates, which currently account for nearly 47 per cent of institutional deliveries, officials said.
The initiative aims to reduce fear of pain during childbirth, encouraging more women to opt for natural deliveries and lowering the risks associated with surgical births, including maternal mortality. The proposed pain-management options include epidural injections and nitrous oxide.
