Innovative Maternal Health Solutions for PPH in South Sudan A comprehensive postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) intervention package was successfully implemented in six maternity facilities across South Sudan. This initiative integrated heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) for PPH prevention and tranexamic acid (TXA) for treatment, addressing challenges in cold-chain dependency and resource limitations. The stepwise approach showed significant results: HSC replaced oxytocin as the primary uterotonic for PPH prevention, and TXA became a standard for treatment. Providers gained skills through hands-on training and collaborative platforms, improving PPH detection and management. This model highlights the feasibility of scaling similar interventions in low-resource humanitarian settings.

Advancing Maternal Health in India with Heat-Stable Carbetocin The introduction of heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) in public health facilities in Madhya Pradesh through a public-private partnership demonstrated its feasibility for preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This innovative approach addressed challenges like oxytocin's cold chain dependency, ensuring safe and effective PPH prevention. Across 15 health facilities, nearly universal use of uterotonics was observed, with HSC administered in over 96% of cases. The initiative highlighted significant knowledge improvements among providers and better adherence to active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). The project shows promise for scaling HSC adoption across India to reduce maternal mortality.

Empowering Midwives in Fragile Settings with Advanced PPH Training Midwives in humanitarian contexts are at the forefront of maternal health, often managing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with limited resources. A new training model, incorporating heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) and tranexamic acid (TXA), has improved provider knowledge, skills, and confidence in PPH prevention and treatment. This approach uses a low-dose, high-frequency (LDHF) strategy, combining webinars, in-person workshops, and hands-on skill drills. Participants reported significant knowledge gains and practical improvements, emphasizing midwifery leadership, teamwork, and quality care. Action plans and WhatsApp-based communities further strengthened collaboration and sustainability.
