Similarly, in the USA, when a Kansas HMO (health fund) started paying OBs the same regardless of method of delivery, the CS rate dropped from 28.7% to 13.5% in a year. Rachele An obst from argentina recently told me that to lower the countries ridiculously high caesar rate the government made the schedule benefits (as in money given for procedure) the same for both c/s and vaginal birth, c/s rate dropped very quickly! nicole -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

[ozmidwifery] Re: theatre greens
As our base numbers of caesareans are getting larger, there will be more in the future. If only we could reduce significantly the number of inductions, then maybe we could reduce the number of caesareans?? Where is the evidence for inductions at 40 weeks please? Thanks from Barbara, Parkes where we had 5 babies in 4 hours, two lscs (both booked but one had jumped the gun.) One was shoulder dystocia but good outcome thanks to previous training with Jan Robinson..
