Empowering Safe Vaginal Birth: Strategies to Reduce Unnecessary Cesarean Sections

Cesarean section rates are rising globally, including in Jordan, often without clear medical justification. While cesarean delivery can be lifesaving, unnecessary procedures increase risks for mothers and babies and place additional burdens on health systems. This interactive scientific day empowers healthcare professionals to promote safe vaginal birth, reduce avoidable cesareans, and align practice with international guidelines (WHO, RCOG, USAID) adapted to the local context.
Through case-based discussions, simulations ,and lectures  participants will explore evidence-based strategies, ethical considerations, and practical tools for improving maternal outcomes. The workshop emphasizes respectful maternity care, informed decision-making, and teamwork in the labor.
