Introduction of Heat-Stable Carbetocin for Postpartum Hemorrhage Prevention in Public Sector Hospitals in Kenya: Provider Experience and Policy Insights
The findings demonstrate that HCP's knowledge, perception, and experience coupled with the policymaker's perspective is the key to the introduction of HSC in the public sector. Policymakers find value in introducing HSC as it alleviates challenges with the fragile cold chain systems. This study contributes to the global body of knowledge on the introduction of lifesaving commodities, which is anticipated to potentially improve PPH prevention and management, and hence reduce maternal mortality.
