Examining C-section using the Robson Classification System
The use of Cesarean sections is on the rise worldwide. However, especially in the low- and middle-income countries, the reasons for its use are controversial and not always to the benefit of maternal health. The research aims to analyze the effect of Cesarean sections at a hospital in Chiulo, Angola using the Robson classification system.

The use of Cesarean sections is on the rise worldwide. However, especially in the low- and middle-income countries, the reasons for its use are controversial and not always to the benefit of maternal health. The research aims to analyze the effect of Cesarean sections at a hospital in Chiulo, Angola using the Robson classification system. Robson’s criteria may be a good starting point for a systematic review of Cesarean births. The classification will also let us implement strategies to reduce the frequency of medically unnecessary primary C-sections.
