Safe Prevention of Primary Cesarean Section in China

In summary, although China and the USA have similar total CD rates, the safe prevention of the primary cesarean section in China differs from the USA efforts due the differences in indications for primary CD. With the combination of the prior high percentage of elective primary CD and the new Two Child Policy in China there is unique opportunity that may make it easier to significantly decrease the primary cesarean rate in China than in the USA.   Citation: Susan Hellerstein.
