Unfortunately, even in nations with modern technology and a good relationship with the West, folk traditions can persist. In Egypt, FGM has become “medicalized,” which means that instead of it being done by traditional practitioners with a kitchen knife, it’s now mostly done by doctors, which makes it harder to track because it’s hidden behind doctor-patient confidentiality.Wikipedia is correct and there are numerous statistics to back it up. I found the following (with citations) on The Womanstats Project, a very useful site for raw data about the status of women."According to Egypt Demographic and Health Survey issued in May 2015, Female circumcision between the reproductive age 15-49 years has reached 92% while it decreased among young girls between 15 – 17 reaching 61%. The survey has also showed that more than 75% of these operations are done to girls between 9 and 12 years and 14% are done to girls less than 7 years old. They survey also mentioned that 31% of women between 15 to 49 years were undergo circumcision by practicing physician or nurse, 82 % of girls less than 19 years old underwent female circumcision by a practicing physician" (para 4).Read MoreTP - ( TPJ , Egyptian Center for Women's Rights , ECWR Welcomes Intensifying FGM Penalty , , , , , 1 September 2016 , 8 February 2017 , Click to open) 4.0"Available trend data on practitioners show that in Egypt, where the level of medicalization is high- est, the percentage of daughters cut by traditional practitioners has decreased steadily – from 42 per cent in 1995 to 22 per cent in 2008. At the same time, the percentage of daughters cut by health personnel in that country increased from 55 per cent in 1995 to 77 per cent in 2008 (see Figure 8.14). This steady trend occurred over a period of intense scrutiny and public debate about Egypt’s of- ficial policy on the medicalization of the practice. In an effort to improve the safety of what was viewed as an ‘inevitable practice’, Egypt’s Ministry of Health issued in 1994 a decree permitting only doctors in government hospitals to perform female genital cutting. However, this policy was reversed in October 1995 after women’s rights and health advocates criticized it as government endorsement of ‘female genital mutilation’, and instead state hospitals were banned from performing the procedure. Yet even then, the ban was not total and permitted the procedure when it was deemed medically necessary, thereby creating, de facto, an important loophole. In 2007, follow- ing the highly publicized death of an 11-year-old girl who was cut in a clinic, further restrictions banned all state-licensed health workers in either government or private clinics from performing FGM/C.170 In June 2008, the Egyptian Parliament adopted a law imposing a sentence of a maximum of two years and a fine of up to $1,000 as a penalty for performing FGM/C.

The 2008 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey also highlights other improvements in maternal health. Three-quarters of pregnant women are receiving antenatal care compared to only 39% in 1995. Almost 80% of births are now assisted by trained medical personnel, compared to only 46% in 1995. The 2008 EDHS also included testing for Hepatitis C. Ten percent of women and men tested through the 2008 EDHS were found to have an active infection; 15% had antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus in their blood, indicating that they had been exposed to the virus at some point. Poor infection control practices during the mass campaigns to treat schistosomiasis in Egypt from the 1950s through the early 1980s has been linked to hepatitis C. The EDHS found infection rates among adults who had ever received an injection to treat schistosomiasis were around twice those among adults who had not been given an injection. Nutrition indicators are also troubling. Forty percent of women age 15-59 are obese, and another 28% are overweight. Men are also struggling with overnutrition, as 18% are obese and 34% are overweight."Read MoreGDK - ( United States, 2009, Egypt -- Female Circumcision Decreasing Among Young Women, GKD)85-97% of women are subjected to FGM.CPC - (Click to open, 2006, Save the Children UK, 27 March 2009, Female Genital Mutilation, CPC)"Recent research confirms the association of female genital mutilation/cutting with obstetric complications including post-partum haemorrhage and obstructed labour requiring Caesarean section.
