Knowledge, attitude and practice of emergency care providers on obstetric haemorrhage in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: A cross-sectional study

Targeted up-skilling and mandatory obstetric simulation for EC providers in KZN are needed to close knowledge-practice gaps. Despite a positive attitude, EC providers demonstrated poor knowledge and practices in OH management. These shortcomings appear influenced by systemic and contextual barriers and require further investigation. Nevertheless, our findings highlight the importance of sustained, targeted training and EMS support to address critical gaps and improve obstetric outcomes in emergency settings.
