Brief: Accelerating access to essential postpartum haemorrhage interventions

Postpartum haemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, with the right policies, financing, commodities, and skilled health workers in place, many of these deaths can be prevented.

The policy brief “Accelerating Access to Essential Postpartum Haemorrhage Interventions: Closing the Policy, Regulatory, Financing and Access Gaps that Keep Proven PPH Tools Out of Reach Across Africa,” provides a pathway for countries and partners to move from evidence to action, ensuring that life-saving interventions reach women when and where they need them most.

At the centre of this conversation is a simple but profound commitment: no woman should lose her life from a preventable cause.
