The global rise in Caesarean section (C-section) rates has become a significant public health concern. This trend is observed across high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, with varying rates and contributing factors. Understanding the reasons behind this increase is crucial for developing strategies to optimize the use of C-sections and address associated health risks.

The global rise in C-section rates is driven by a complex interplay of socioeconomic, geographic, healthcare system, and individual factors. Higher socioeconomic status, urban living, increased women's autonomy, and physician-related factors are significant contributors.
