As you know, today we have published another legislation regarding the education of expectant mothers. Thus, we always express that normal birth is natural birth. Unfortunately, we need to reduce our caesarean section rates, which are over 50 percent today, to the 15 percent recommended by the World Health Organization. “We see this as indispensable for both mother’s and baby’s health, and for the development of society in this regard.”
