Assessment of the Direct Cost of the Management of a Caesarean Section in Three Health Facilities in the Kisanga Health Zone (Sainte Bernadette, Clinique la Grace and HGR/la Foi)

Introduction: Caesarean section performed on time and in good conditions, is one of the obstetrical interventions capable of reducing maternal mortality. Objective: the objective of our study is to contribute to the reduction of infantomaternal morbidity and mortality. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study that covered one year from January 2021 to January 2021. Our study included 114 women; Data were entered in Excel and analyzed in SPSS version 23. Results: Out of a total of 245 women who came to give birth in the three structures concerned by our study, 114 had had a caesarean section, i.e. a proportion of 46.5%. Most women were from secondary school (49.1%), The majority of women had no history of caesarean section (75.4%), abortion (65.8%) and had a parity ≥ 5 (90.3%), Acute fetal distress was the first reason for caesarean section with 20.1% of cases. The cost of caesarean section was not statistically significant. The average length of stay in the three health facilities was statistically different (P: 0.001). Conclusion: Caesarean section remains a therapy that saves the mother and the child in case of dystocia or fetal distress.
