Postpartum Hemorrhage in Humanitarian Settings: Heat-Stable Carbetocin and Tranexamic Acid Implementation Study in Uganda
An intervention package to reinforce providers' capacity to prevent and treat PPH can result in substantial HSC utilization and a moderate TXA adoption in cold-chain-challenged humanitarian settings. It could be scaled up with continuous capacity development and supportive supervision to mitigate confusion between existing and new medications, such as the decreased use of oxytocin for PPH treatment. Maintaining investments in cold-chain strengthening remains critical to ensure the quality of oxytocin.
