Comparison of overall caesarean delivery rates (CD rates) and relative wealth-related inequality in caesarean deliveries across 36 states and union territories. IN: India, AP: Andhra Pradesh, ArP: Arunachal Pradesh, AS: Assam, BI: Bihar, CH: Chhattisgarh, GJ: Gujarat, GO: Goa, HP: Himachal Pradesh, HR: Haryana, JH: Jharkhand, KL: Kerala, KT: Karnataka, ME: Meghalaya, MH: Maharashtra, MN: Manipur, MP: Madhya Pradesh, MZ: Mizoram, NG: Nagaland, OD: Odisha, PB: Punjab, RJ: Rajasthan, SK: Sikkim, TL: Telangana, TN: Tamil Nadu, TR: Tripura, UK: Uttarakhand, UP: Uttar Pradesh, WB: West Bengal, AN: Andaman & Nicobar Islands, CD: Chandigarh, DDH: Dadra Nagar Haveli & Diu Daman, DL: Delhi, JK: Jammu & Kashmir, LD: Ladakh, LK: Lakshadweep, PD: Puducherry. The vertical line passes through the 10% overall caesarean delivery rate and the horizontal line passes through the relative inequality median of 5.15. ∗The relative inequality in CD rates could not be calculated for six states and UTs: Sikkim, Goa, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, NCT of Delhi, Lakshadweep, and Mizoram, as the poorest had a CD rate of 0%. Here, 5.33 is the median relative inequality for all states and UTs. A caesarean delivery rate of 10% was chosen as the dividing point on the x-axis per WHO recommendations.
