Establishes a duty for health care providers to inform patients about the risks of cesarean sections.
The bill amends the public health law to require health care providers to inform patients about the risks associated with cesarean sections. This includes both planned and unplanned primary cesarean sections. The communication must cover the risks of cesarean birth, the preference for vaginal delivery when possible, and the potential for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). The bill mandates that this information be provided in writing to patients.
