Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours after birth, remains the leading cause of maternal mortality globally, accounting for over 20% of all maternal deaths. The burden of mortality from PPH is predominantly in low- and middle-income countries and demands coordinated accelerated efforts from the global maternal health community to meet the Sustainable Development 3 maternal health target by 2030. The International Journal of Maternal and Child Health and AIDS and the Concept Foundation are proud to present this Special Collection demonstrating the evidence for introducing heat-stable carbetocin and tranexamic acid, showcasing the feasibility and acceptability of their utilization for PPH prevention and management in resource-limited high-burden settings.

Keywords: Heat-Stable Carbetocin; Low-and Middle-Income Countries; Maternal Health; Postpartum Hemorrhage; Tranexanic Acid.
