The Ahwazi Centre
for Human Right has conducted interviews with a number Ahwazi woman in
relation to the procedure of caesarean section in Al-Ahwaz. They talked
about their experiences and how they have been forced deliberately to
deliver their child by Caesarean section procedure.
The Ahwazi women accuse the Iranian
regime of encouraging and guiding the Al-Ahwaz local health centres and
hospitals to use of Caesarean deliveries without taking the health
issues.
In
Khafajiyeh city of Al-Ahwaz, for instance, the midwives who are
none-Arabs are advising the Ahwazi women before the giving birth to take
the option of Caesarean due to being ‘easy’ to deliver without
explaining the risk behind it. Although the procedure is much more
costly than the natural delivery but it has been advertised as the more effective and healthier.
ACHR
has been acknowledged that mothers who are covered by health insurance
were encouraged to choose the Caesarean procedure months before the date of their giving birth.
A
Caesarean section is a surgical procedure in which one or more
incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus
(hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies, or, rarely, to remove a dead fetus.
