Reducing maternal deaths through strengthened emergency obstetric care. Postpartum hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Nigeria. HSDF’s PPH Project focuses on improving the quality of maternal health services by equipping frontline health workers, enhancing data-driven decision-making, and strengthening systems that support rapid, life-saving care.
Through partnerships with state governments and development stakeholders, we drive sustainable solutions that save mothers’ lives.
We provide comprehensive training to healthcare providers on evidence-based PPH prevention, early detection, and clinical management. This includes practical skills in emergency obstetric care, simulation exercises, and mentoring to ensure that providers are confident in responding to complications. By strengthening the competencies of frontline staff, we improve patient outcomes and reduce delays in life-saving care.
HSDF works to enhance the readiness of health facilities by improving essential infrastructure, ensuring consistent availability of medical supplies, and optimizing referral systems. This approach ensures that health facilities are fully equipped to provide timely and effective emergency obstetric care, reducing preventable maternal deaths. Strengthened systems also include standardized protocols and accountability mechanisms for sustained quality improvement.
We strengthen health information systems to capture accurate, timely, and actionable data on PPH incidence and outcomes. By analyzing trends and identifying gaps in service delivery, we guide targeted interventions and policy decisions. This data-driven approach enables continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of strategies to maximize impact.
Recognizing that community awareness is critical, HSDF mobilizes communities to recognize danger signs during pregnancy and postpartum. We engage local leaders, community health workers, and women’s groups to promote timely access to skilled care and support families in navigating the health system. This participatory approach helps reduce delays in seeking care and fosters a culture of maternal health advocacy.
