ABSTRACT
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and PPH-related deaths are disproportionately higher in low-income countries, with sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia accounting for approximately 85% of the global burden of PPH-related maternal deaths. Although PPH-related mortality is directly related to the amount and duration of bleeding, the high maternal death burden in resource-limited countries suggests that a great majority of these deaths would be avoidable with the appropriate resources and effective use of evidence-based interventions. Non-surgical management is often the first-line approach for PPH, but conservative surgical interventions may be required if bleeding persists or if the underlying cause is not responsive to the initial conservative measures. The appropriate interventions should be selected based on the individual's specific circumstances and clinical condition.
