Only 4% of district hospitals and 27% of referral facilities in East, Central, and Southern Africa have functional C-arm X-ray machines (2022 study).
This leads to:
⚠️ Delays in diagnosis & treatment
⚠️ Higher complication rates
⚠️ Limited access to procedures
⚠️ Increased mortality & disability

This underlines the necessity of improving access to safe & appropriate CS.
