International Cesarean Awareness Network
The International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving maternal-child health by reducing preventable cesareans through education, supporting cesarean recovery, and advocating for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)[1][2][4]. ICAN operates with the mission to provide education, support, and advocacy to promote informed childbirth options and to assist women in navigating their birth choices[1][2].
Mission and Activities
ICAN focuses on equipping women with knowledge about childbirth options, assisting those who have experienced cesareans, and promoting VBAC. By educating expectant mothers about their choices regarding cesarean sections and VBAC, ICAN aims to empower them to make informed decisions about their health care[1][3]. The organization also offers support for recovery after cesarean surgeries[4].
ICAN has chapters across different regions, each providing localized support and resources. These chapters may organize meetings, workshops, and online forums to facilitate interaction among members and to disseminate information about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care[5].
Impact and Operations
By advocating for informed consent and evidence-based medical practices, ICAN contributes to reducing unnecessary cesarean sections and promoting safer childbirth outcomes. The organization works with healthcare providers and policymakers to ensure that pregnant women have access to a range of birth options[2][3]. ICAN's efforts are directed towards creating a supportive environment for women who are preparing for VBAC or seeking to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions during childbirth[1][4].
Governance
ICAN's governance includes a board of directors responsible for overseeing the organization's operations and strategic direction. The board ensures that ICAN remains aligned with its mission of education, support, and advocacy in maternal healthcare[2].
