Clinics say why do so many Caesarean sections

The President of the National Association of private clinics (Andeclip), Rafael Mena, described as unilateral projection the figure offered by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), that of every 100 births 90 are by caesarean section at clinics in the country.

"Is a unilateral PAHO projection, because we are trying to as if we were a colony." "If there is one institution that has helped or spoke to make medicine in Dominican Republic into a commodity is precisely PAHO, said Mena. He also said that PAHO has ignored that the country has occurred in an Exchange.

Explained that the increase in the number of Caesarean sections are due to pregnant teenagers and the "new old", who are women who have children after the 30 years.

Said that clinics you do not provide for the doctors to do Caesarean sections, "it's the doctor according to the patient".

However, the President of the medical school u000aDominican, Senén Caba, supported Charles Gril, maternal and child health of the UNRWA Advisory opinion, that the figures of Caesarean sections are handled formally in Dominican Republic, such as 40% in hospitals of high complexity, and 90% in private health facilities are unacceptable. CABA said that the mass implementation of this practice should be diminished.
