We are not a ‘maternity unit’ but overall the C/S statistic for Community Midwifery WA is 12.5%   Sally Westbury   "It takes courage to remain a true advocate for women, challenging authority and sacrificing social and professional acceptance. It takes courage for a woman to choose a caregiver who will truly advocate for and empower her."    -Judy Slome Cohain -----Original Message----- From: owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Graham and Helen Sent: Sunday, 27 June 2004 9:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Search for 15% caesarian rates   Does anyone on the list know of a maternity unit in Australia that has a caesarian rate as low as 15% (top end of the WHO recommendations) or are all of them up over 20/25% now.   And if so, what are you doing there to keep the numbers down??   Just curious.....   Helen Cahill
