Abstract:

The historical evolution of choice of birth delivery (normal, Cesarean section, and forceps) over from 1960 to 2001 was evaluated using data from the three oldest maternity hospitals contracted by the national health service (Sistema Único de Saúde) in the city of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The analysis allowed comparisons of the data with policy events, admission records, and other data over that time period. Increasing incorporation of technology and rising use of Cesarean section occurred until 1998, when Ordinance No. 2816, was proposed by the Ministry of Health. The introduction of the ordinance coincided with the reversal of the shift toward Cesarean birth, with increased numbers of normal births. Type of delivery was also associated with the admission category, which points to a political discussion about social inequalities that are interrelated with diverse variables, a including gender and social class. Understanding inequalities and discussing their more difficult ramifications, with respect to morbidity, mortality, and unequal standards of care, are preconditions to finding solutions to these ubiquitous problems.
