Preventable Caesareans Cost Taxpayers Up to $84 Million

Since one in 10 Canadian healthcare dollars goes to maternity care, lowering the caesarean rate can make a big impact on the overall financial burden. "If we were getting better outcomes in maternity care, then that spending would be worth it," said Connie Banack, ICAN Canada President. "But preventable caesareans harm mothers and babies, with short- and long-term risks." (PRWEB May 7, 2006)
