Lancet series emphasizes existing methods to prevent maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage.

A new three-part series in The Lancet, led by University of Oxford researchers, highlights that most of the 43,000 annual maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are preventable. The series advocates for a fundamental change in detection and treatment, urging earlier intervention and challenging traditional methods of estimating blood loss. It underscores the importance of utilizing existing tools more effectively to save lives.
