Before Birth
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) — severe bleeding during or after childbirth — is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide.
Women who begin labor already weakened by iron-deficient anemia are especially vulnerable to severe blood loss during childbirth because their bodies have less reserve to survive hemorrhage.
In many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, malaria further worsens this crisis by contributing to maternal anemia during pregnancy, increasing the risk of life-threatening complications for both mother and baby.
Midwives Save Lives provides pregnant mothers with prenatal kits designed to reduce iron-deficient anemia during pregnancy. Our kits include iron/folate supplements to support healthy hemoglobin levels, insecticide-treated mosquito nets to help prevent malaria, and illustrated, low-literacy educational materials to empower mothers with essential prenatal health knowledge and improve supplement adherence.
