Pregnant women in Greece unable to access vaginal delivery despite medical appropriateness

Greek pregnant women face unnecessary caesarean sections as the default delivery method, even when vaginal birth is medically safe and preferable. Current healthcare practices prioritize surgical delivery over natural birth options, leaving women without informed choice, facing increased surgical risks, longer recovery times, and higher medical costs. Patients struggle to find providers who support vaginal delivery and lack transparent information about when caesareans are truly necessary versus elective.
