Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of death among women. The serious medical emergency occurs when a woman experiences excessive bleeding after childbirth. PPH is a major contributing factor towards maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide.

One of the most important presidential priorities in Zambia is that no mother should die whilst giving birth. Each stage of pregnancy should be a positive experience, ensuring Zambian women and their babies reach their full potential for health and well-being.

Give birth with the help of skilled health workers.It’s the safest way to protect mother and baby. Plan for a safe delivery at the health facility.
