Abstract
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
