Another way to look at it is that there are 2.3x more C-sections and 8.5x more forceps deliveries in private hospitals when compared to government ones.<\/p>\n<p>15% of deliveries at Government hospitals are by C-sections. Which by itself just touches what WHO thinks as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/mediacentre\/news\/releases\/2015\/caesarean-sections\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">ideal rate<\/a>&#8220;. In private hospitals, it&#8217;s as high as 38%! Close to half the births in private hospitals are assisted &#8211; either by C or a forceps deliveries.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ravi.rajiniravi.com\/C-Sec\/DA.html\" width=\"600px\" height=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The first two bars are obviously wrong. But, you can see the steady increase in incidence of C-sections by age of mother at time of delivery. The incidence crosses 20% by the time a woman is 25 years. Post 40, no woman has given a natural birth!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ravi.rajiniravi.com\/C-Sec\/AOM.html\" width=\"600px\" height=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The graph below is the most worrying. You&#8217;d expect a lot of deliveries between 37-40 weeks. Unfortunately the incidence of C-sections is 30%+ across these weeks. And no one waits beyond 42 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ravi.rajiniravi.com\/C-Sec\/DW.html\" width=\"600px\" height=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A quick look by religion. The one Parsi and 2 Sikhs went for C-section. But, in the larger communities, the lowest rate of C-section incidence is among Muslims at 19%.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ravi.rajiniravi.com\/C-Sec\/Rel.html\" width=\"600px\" height=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the 3 best and 3 worst hospitals by %age of C-sections&#8230; 50.9% of deliveries happened in 4 hospitals (total of 202 hospitals) viz. L.T.M.G. Hospital at Sion,K.E.M Hospital at Parel, U.H.C Dharavi and K B.B. Hospital at Bandra. Though they have the highest absolute numbers of C-sections, only 15% of deliveries here are C-sections. This is skewed due to U.H.C Dharavi, where only 1.5% of 184 deliveries were assisted. Close on its heels is Sandhya Nursing home at Dharavi.<\/p>\n<p>The worst among the lot is S.L. Raheja (A Fortis Associate) Hospital and Dr. Shah Garbhasanskar where only 1 of 19 and 1 of 15 deliveries were natural!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ravi.rajiniravi.com\/C-Sec\/Hosp.html\" width=\"600px\" height=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Will post an analysis of a different slice of this data soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a continuation of the earlier post and is an in depth look at the birth registration data between 1st September to 19th December of G\/N ward for 2,737 deliveries.
