Turkey fines over 100 doctorsover 100 doctors for caesarean deliveries

Turkey's health ministry fined more than 100 obstetrician-gynaecologists on July 11 for performing caesarean sections, suspending them and mandating training. The department acted due to the nation's high rate of surgical births, which authorities view as an unnecessary medical practice.

This move matters as it signals a strict government push to shift medical standards toward natural deliveries across the country.
