A Million Cuts: India’s C-Section Epidemic | Undercover Asia

A C-section is the surgical method of delivering a baby, meant to be used in complicated pregnancies. It’s a lifesaving procedure, but in India, millions of mothers are going under the knife unnecessarily.

The Cesarean section rate in India’s private hospitals is a whopping 47.4%, far greater than the 15% threshold recommended by the WHO.

As private hospitals of all kinds mushroom across the country, C-sections have become a money-making racket.

An increasing number of doctors have little patience for normal deliveries and are in a hurry to wield the scalpel. Hapless mothers in their hands are forced to undergo surgeries which comes with risks for both mother and baby.

Behind Closed Doors | Documentary on How West Encourages Global Corruption.

A Documentary about corruption in high places and those who enable it.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in Bribery, Money Laundering or Corruption. Offshore leaks have revealed repeatedly that PEPs use British finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide their wealth and re-invest that wealth back into the global financial system. London is the place where they buy property, where they take legal action against their critics and where they live when they fall from grace.

But what happens when a developing country fights back and attempts to get Britain to return the money that it claims has been stolen? Watch Behind Closed Doors and find out.
