Brief Summary   Surgical site infections are complications associated with caesarean section which may lead to a substantial effect on the mother’s health and impose enormous demands on healthcare-system resources. Significant association has been observed between repeat caesarean sections and wound infection. Asepsis bundle includes a set of evidence-based measure that have shown a significant improvement in patient care.

The aim of this trial is to study the impact of ASEPSIS bundle on caesarean surgical site among women undergoing repeat caesarean delivery.
