WHO recommendations on the assessment of postpartum blood loss and use of a treatment bundle for postpartum haemorrhage
Global estimates indicate that there were 287 000 maternal deaths in 2020, most of which occurred in the world’s least developed countries. Specifically, 87% of the world’s maternal deaths occurred in sub-Saharan African and South Asian countries. Obstetric haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for 27% of all maternal deaths occurring worldwide each year. Most of these deaths are due to postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).
