scale and sustainability to help reduce maternal mortality. The report highlights solutions that have demonstrated
transformational impact on maternal health in vastly different contexts – from small private clinics in Maharashtra,

New Grant Mechanism Seeks Applications for Scaling Postpartum Hemorrhage Medicines
|
|
|
| |
|
Despite advances in evidence-based interventions and updated recommendations to improve clinical practice, progress to meet
the Sustainable Development Goal 3.1 target to reduce the maternal mortality ratio has stagnated in the past decade. Severe
bleeding after childbirth, or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), has been and remains the leading cause of maternal mortality
worldwide. To help address this issue, the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Maternal Health Caucus has announced a new
small grants mechanism, co-funded through Merck for Mothers and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), to
increase access to new and lesser-used medications capable of preventing and treating PPH. The goal is to provide funding for
government-endorsed, catalytic activities to introduce and scale these new PPH medicines in low- and lower-middle income
countries.
