Caesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure which is always helpful to both mother as well as child. Further when if performed in private sector (even in government sector), we can not ignore its economic implications in terms of operative charges, cost of drugs, prolonged hospital stay and loss of wages of the patient as well as the attending family members.
