If yesterday we showed you the data of the last study on caesarean sections carried out by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, which revealed that from 2001 to 2011 the number of caesarean sections in our country has increased by almost 10% Today we show you the data community by community, so you can see what the differences are according to where you live.
Since Babies and more we wanted to represent it graphically in a map To clearly see the differences. So we can see that the Autonomous Community with largest number of caesarean sections is Extremadura, being the least the Basque Country. Among the figures of these two communities are all the others, and the variations are quite important, the truth, something that is surprising because in all cases we speak of Spanish women, with characteristics, on average, quite homogeneous. Come on, we are not comparing black women with white, nor American with Murcia, but simply Spanish from one place and Spanish from the other.
Map with the percentage of caesarean sections in Spain
Well, you know what to watch for, these are the caesarean section data in public hospitals. If you live in the north of Spain you have it quite well ... apparently the medical teams have reached a level of care advanced enough to achieve some really low caesarean section rates. If instead you live more to the west because the thing already changes, becoming dramatic in Castilla y León and Extremadura, where the cesarean sections are done in the Basque Country. It gives to think, huh?
