Dear all Last year I was blessed to become a mother. But while in - TopicsExpress

Dear all Last year I was blessed to become a mother. But while in the maternity ward in my home country of Nigeria I saw several mothers die of postpartum hemorrhage. These deaths should not have happened. Worldwide, maternal hemorrhage contributes a whopping 25% to the 358,000 and more women who die annually in pregnancy or within 42 days of delivery, excluding accidental or incidental causes. (WHO) Bleeding after childbirth therefore is the single most important health issue facing obstetricians, physicians, and other skilled birth attendants in countries with limited resources. Please sign up for this week’s Expert Panel to discuss the situation in your country, learn from the case of Nigeria, share best practices to prevent maternal hemorrhage, and collect protocols, guidelines, tools and technologies that can save mothers’ lives. Joining me in this panel are: Chiamaka Uchegbulam, MD, is program director at The Girl Child Education and Women Health Development Foundation (GEWHDF), a nonprofit that promotes girl education and women health in rural areas. Dr. Uchebulam’s work includes identifying young girls from poor background to help them achieve their dreams through education as well as raising awareness and advocating for antenatal care in remote places. Paschal Okoye, MD, works at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Federal Teaching Hospital of Abakaliki in the Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Dr. Okoye has worked on community health research on awareness, attitude, and practice of cervical cancer screening (PAP SMEAR) among women. Meg Wirth is the founder of Maternova Inc. and Maternova Research which focus on ideas and technologies saving mothers and newborns. Meg has researched and written extensively on maternal and newborn health and is particularly interested in speeding the pace at which low-cost, effective innovations are spread globally. Thank you in advance. Looking forward to this discussion.
