Differences in caesarean rates: private versus public hospitals
08 Oct 2012
If you give birth in a private hospital in Queensland, you are more likely to have a caesarean birth, regardless of your age, the number of births you have had, your weight, and whether you have had a previous caesarean. You are also more likely to be able to choose whether you have a caesarean or vaginal birth if you birth in a private hospital in Queensland.
