Who else is gonna do them in that location?
Since I was delivered by emergency C-section by a non-residency trained GP, I can see the need for rural FP’s to do them.
Cesarean delivery is the first complete operation we teach Ob/Gyn residents. It’s a simple operation, not hard, and just takes practice. What can be hard is not the procedure, but the intra-operative complications.
