Turkiye fines over 100 doctors for Caesarean deliveries

Turkey's health ministry has taken a firm stance against over-reliance on Caesarean sections by fining and suspending over 100 obstetrician-gynaecologists for performing too many C-sections. The country has one of the highest rates of C-section births globally, which has raised concerns about the medical and economic implications of such high rates. This move aims to balance medical practices with public health, reflecting a broader effort to align with global standards for safer childbirth practices. The fines and mandatory training highlight the government's commitment to addressing this issue to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
