Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health, said that the cesarean delivery is a birth contrary to the original, explaining that the normal rate is that only 15 cesarean cases are made out of every 100 births, while the largest percentage must be a natural birth.

Abdel Ghaffar indicated during television statements that a cesarean delivery carries many health damages to the mother, such as surgical incision infection, endometrial inflammation, and bleeding during childbirth, as well as increasing the possibility of infection of the legs and sink with stroke as a result of surgical intervention, as well as the possibility of placenta adhesion in the future pregnancy.
He added that cesarean delivery not only affects the mother, but its damages extend to the children, as the newborn can suffer from breathing difficulties, in addition to depriving him of exposure to beneficial bacteria that protect him from diseases such as allergies, asthma and the disorders of the immune system, and that the caesarean -born children are more likely to develop obesity and diabetes in later stages of their lives.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Health stressed that caesarean section may also cause problems for the mother during the period of breastfeeding, which affects the health of the mother and the child alike, stressing the need to adhere to the natural birth whenever that is possible, and not to resort to Caesarean section except in medical cases that require this.
