About QUALI-DEC: This research project has been created to improve decision-making in childbirth by women and healthcare professionals. It provides pregnant women, their relatives, and the healthcare professionals who support them, with non-clinical tools to guide decisions before or during labour. It aims to reduce the practice of non-medically justified caesarean sections and to encourage natural childbirth.

Based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientific studies, the QUALI-DEC strategy consists of four components aimed at reducing non-medically justified caesarean sections.

- The use of opinion leaders to encourage evidence-based clinical practice.
- Review of caesarean section indications by the caregivers themselves with feedback to the whole team (audit & feedback) to avoid unnecessary interventions.
- Support by a relative to reassure the woman during labour.
- A decision support tool to encourage dialogue between caregivers and women during pregnancy monitoring.

Maternity hospitals in four countries are implementing the QUALI-DEC strategy: Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand and Viet Nam.
