Abstract

According to the latest data, the majority of babies are delivered via cesarean section (C-section) in Türkiye. This is a medically unacceptable situation and reflects the highest rate in the world. Despite Türkiye enacting a law prohibiting elective C-sections, the rate has not decreased; rather increased. Therefore, this article and accompanying annex have been prepared to propose policy recommendations aimed at reducing the C-section rate. This article summarizes what has been done so far and outlines areas for improvement to reduce the C-section rate, offering a different perspective on policy. The C-section rate has reached such a critical level in Türkiye that a concerted effort involving the Turkish Ministry of Health, healthcare and obstetrics societies, physicians, midwives, healthcare professionals, public and the media is necessary. Health authorities in Türkiye should consider all policy recommendations in addressing this issue.

降低土耳其高剖腹产率的政策建议。
根据最新数据,在土耳其,大多数婴儿都是通过剖腹产(C-section)分娩的。这是医学上无法接受的情况,也是世界上剖腹产率最高的国家。尽管土耳其颁布了禁止选择性剖腹产的法律,但剖腹产率不但没有下降,反而有所上升。因此,本文及其附件旨在提出降低剖腹产率的政策建议。本文总结了迄今为止所做的工作,并概述了为降低剖腹产率而需要改进的领域,提供了一个不同的政策视角。在土耳其,剖腹产率已达到如此严重的程度,需要土耳其卫生部、医疗保健和产科协会、医生、助产士、医疗保健专业人员、公众和媒体的共同努力。土耳其卫生当局在解决这一问题时应考虑所有政策建议。
