Prayagraj, 15 Dec (HS): The Allahabad Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society is proud to announce the upcoming Scientific Sangam Conference, taking place from 15th to 17th December 2023 in Allahabad. This highly anticipated conference will provide a platform for gynaecologists, ANM staff, and healthcare professionals to discuss and address various topics relevant to the field of obstetrics and gynaecology.
With the rising incidence of caesarean deliveries in India, the government has implemented interventions to promote and encourage normal deliveries as a safer and healthier option for both mothers and babies. According to recent statistics, caesarean section rates in India have increased to over 21% in 2019-21, exceeding the World Health Organization’s recommended rate of 10-15%.
To address this concern, the Allahabad Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society, in collaboration with the government, has taken initiatives to raise awareness about the benefits of natural birthing. As part of the Scientific Sangam Conference, a workshop on natural birthing will be held, led by a team of esteemed doctors from Wardha Medical College, led by Dr. Poonam Shivkumar and Pravara Institution of Medical Sciences, Loni led by Dr Vidyadhar Bangal and Dr Shelke.
