Informed consent is an ethical and legal requirement and is practiced before all the surgical procedures. Cesarean section is the commonest obstetrics surgery and there is increased rate of C-section due to better diagnosis and early referral. A legitimate consent should be taken from the patient or her guardian before caesarean section. So this study was aimed to assess the adequacy of informed consent process and the understanding of information obtained by the patient. A cross sectional study was done with patients aged more than 18 years and who underwent elective or emergency caesarean section. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of ninety three patients were included. A pretested and pre validated questionnaire was adopted for the study. The data were analyzed and expressed as percentage of proportion. The average age of the participants was 26.11± 3.97 years. About 70.96% of the participants underwent emergency caesarean section and 29.07% underwent elective section. About 91.3% of participants knew the necessity of the cesarean section, 94.62% were informed about the risk of surgery and 95.6% were informed about the benefits of C-section. About 98.92% of participants didn’t know about the type of anesthesia to be used and almost all patients were not informed about their right to refuse the procedure. The patients were well informed about the procedure, the risks and benefits involved in C-section. Still some elements of consent process needs to be improved which can be done by proper awareness and training of the health care professionals.
