Caesarean sections is the ratio of caesarean deliveries performed within a population. 

Caesarean section, also known as C-section, caesarean, or caesarean delivery, is the surgical procedure of delivering one or more babies through an incision in the mother's abdomen. It is often performed because vaginal delivery would put the mother or child at risk.

While caesarean delivery is required in some circumstances, the benefits of caesarean versus vaginal delivery for normal uncomplicated deliveries continue to be debated. Caesarean delivery is shown to result in increased maternal mortality, maternal and infant morbidity, and increased complications for subsequent deliveries, as well as increased financial costs.

This ratio can assist in evaluating the quality and accessibility of maternal healthcare services and for identifying trends or disparities in caesarean section practices.

This indicator is measured by number of procedures per 100 000 women.
