C-section rates reveal need for smarter healthcare policy (India Spend)

July 18, 2017


India Spend, a nonprofit public interest journalism platform, published an opinion article by IFPRI Project Manager Vartika Singh on C-section rates in India. Singh highlights the regional disparity of very high C-section rates and very low C-section rates because of information asymmetry, where some regions over-treat, while others under-treat. Singh argues that the country needs smarter healthcare policies to address the issues. The article was later picked up by the Indo-Asian News Service and ran in prominent daily news outlets including NDTV, India.com, and Business Standard.
