Modeling the economic and health impact of substandard uterotonics in Senegal
This study underscores the importance of ensuring uterotonic quality to showcase significant cost savings and improvements in maternal health outcomes in Senegal. The accrued cost savings from improved maternal health outcomes related to PPH prevention and treatment would greatly benefit mothers, their families, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system. This case study offers valuable insights into improving the quality of maternal care and achieving more efficient resource allocation to advance Senegal's progress towards Universal Health Coverage.
