        International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN)

        Picture
        ICAN's mission is to improve maternal child health by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing support for providing support for cesarean recovery and promoting vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC).  ICAN helps thousands of women through the many local chapters.

        Cesareans are the number one major surgical operation performed in North American hospitals.  It has been estimated that over half of the cesareans performed in North America are medically unnecessary.
