Continuum of Care: Addressing Postpartum Hemorrhage in Bangladesh, India, Nigeria and Peru
Location
Bangladesh
Pathfinder is working to address postpartum hemorrhage – a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality – in Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and Peru through a continuum of care that extends from the community where women give birth at home or at the lowest levels of the health systems, to higher level facilities where women can receive care for complications.
Reason:
I am nominating this project because it saves the lives of women in Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and Peru who are dying unnecessarily in childbirth, and in so doing, supports the health and wellbeing of families and communities. It is intolerable that, as compared to developed countries, women in developing countries are 40 times more likely to die in childbirth - and a staggering 60% of maternal deaths in these countries are caused by postpartum hemorrhage.
