    (Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, 2020-10-16) Chewale, Owen; Mankhwazi, Kossam; Lipenga, Alfred
    This study has been designed to bring to book the relationship between caesarean section deliveries and the development of endomyometritis that results into removal of uteruses. It will be both a qualitative and quantitative retrospective study that will be done at QECH, southern Malawi. The study shall mainly focus on estimating the prevalence of post caesarean section endomyometritis that leads to hysterectomies at QECH, exploring the risk factors contributing to the development of endomyometritis and finally it will focus on finding out the experiences of women who had their uteruses removed. It will involve collection of both primary and secondary data whereby primary data will be collected using questionnaires and secondary data will be collected from medical registers. The measures were reinforced at QECH in the years of 2018 and 2019 in order to reduce post caesarean section endomyometritis and hysterectomy cases[1]. The impacts of such measures will be also known through our objectives. A copy of final report of the research findings shall be submitted to The College of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee (COMREC), College of Medicine Library, The Health Sciences Research committee, and The University Research and Publication committee (URPC), through COMREC secretaria
