Turkiye fines over 100 doctors for Caesarean deliveries
Turkiye's health ministry fined over 100 obstetrician-gynaecologists for performing Caesarean sections, suspending them and requiring training. The country has the highest C-section rate among OECD nations, prompting government efforts to promote natural births under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 'Decade of the Family' initiative.
