Availability, cost, and budget impact of lifesaving postpartum hemorrhage interventions in public hospitals in Zambia: A cross‐sectional survey
While oxytocin is universally available, access to critical treatments such as TXA and advanced interventions remains limited. The low cost of preventive interventions contrasts with the high cost of managing severe PPH, which is exacerbated by system fragmentation. Strengthening primary-level facilities with essential commodities, surgical capacity, and training is critical to containing costs and reducing maternal mortality due to PPH.
