Summary

Advancing Postpartum Hemorrhage Care (APPHC) is a one-time catalytic investment from U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Malawi and Madagascar to generate and test solutions that address key barriers to PPH prevention, detection, and treatment, and to advance the use of related evidence. As part of APPHC, we set out to understand how CCPF currently handles obstetric emergencies, particularly post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), and to provide recommendations on how service delivery could be improved for PPH and other emergencies. During initial analyses we did not encounter any instances of PPH, and so broadened our focus to obstetric emergencies and maternal danger signs generally. Additionally, as the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, we adapted study aims to explore how women used CCPF in the context of COVID-19 and maternal health, and how the services received could be improved.
