Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows disparities in C-section rates between public and private facilities, highlighting socioeconomic factors.

Key Points

  • Overall C-section rate in Cambodia rose to 15.5% by 2021, with significant increases in private facilities driving this change.
  • From 2010 to 2021, C-sections in private facilities surged from 11.0% to 48.1%, indicating a stark increase in urban areas.
  • Logistic regression revealed that wealthier households and women with higher education are more likely to have C-sections.
  • The study underscores the need for equitable childbirth care coverage through strengthened governance and public-private partnerships.
