Nice to see the mail. Here is another interesting fact relating to Yogasana. According to the World Health Organization, during 2007-08, births were delivered by Caesarean section. Shockingly, more than 60% of the hospitals studied where these C-sections took place did it for financial gains and not because it was required. Experts say this boom in unnecessary C-section surgeries is jeopardizing women's health. 'Fear of labor makes these women opt for a Caesarean. The morbidity and mortality rates are much higher in such cases. Dr. A. Metin of WHO said, 'Caesarean section should be done only when there is a medical indication to improve the outcome for the mother or the baby'.
Keeping this in mind, the experts in Southern India, with their counterparts in the UK, Germany, and Malaysia, have developed a new health program to facilitate the young couple in giving birth to a child normally. The details of the program are appended here.
