Child Birth: Why women now prefer Caesarean Section

The Caesarean Section (CS) option in child delivery is becoming popular among Nigerian women, a survey by our correspondents reveals.

Public health experts said on Tuesday that the firms including Microsoft Corp and California Life Sciences Company are already forming partnerships with public health officials in several U.S. states to test new high-tech tools. In Texas, Microsoft is testing a smart trap to isolate and capture Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, known as Zika carriers, for study by entomologists to give them a jump on predicting outbreaks.
