Each year, millions of women experience postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), commonly defined as a
blood loss of 500 ml or more within 24 hours after birth. This preventable and treatable condition
remains the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, despite decades of work and proven lifesaving
interventions.
