Abstract

<jats:p>(<jats:italic toggle="yes">BJOG</jats:italic>. 2024;131(8):1025–1028. doi: 10.1111/1471-0528.17753)</jats:p> <jats:p>Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) guideline to reduce maternal mortality using the principles of research, standards, advocacy, and implementation. Though this has been based on extensive input and wide consultation with professionals throughout the world, some argue that global maternal deaths are mainly a result of poverty and inequity in health care, and that these fundamental issues must be addressed to improve maternal mortality associated with PPH. This article is a commentary centering on how much can be achieved and what practical interventions can be implemented even with limited resources.</jats:p>
