A survey was carried out in a maternity hospital in Gweru, Zimbabwe, in order to analyze the acceptance of Caesarean Section (C.S.). The behaviour of 210 pregnant women who had a previous C.S. was compared with that of a control group of 278 women with no history of C.S. More frequently, the former failed to attend antenatal clinic and came to the maternity hospital in an advanced stage of labour. The majority of them did not wish to have a further C.S. and did not know they were at high risk of complication. These observations have important implications for medical training and public health policy planning in African countries.
为了分析剖宫产的接受情况，在津巴布韦圭鲁的一家妇产医院进行了一项调查。将210名有剖宫产史的孕妇的行为与278名无剖宫产史的对照组妇女的行为进行了比较。前者更经常不参加产前检查，在分娩晚期才来到妇产医院。她们中的大多数人不希望再次进行剖宫产，并且不知道自己有很高的并发症风险。这些观察结果对非洲国家的医学培训和公共卫生政策规划具有重要意义。
