Postpartum postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is often defined as the loss of more than 500 ml (at vaginal birth) or 1000 ml (at caesarean section) of blood within the first 24 hours following childbirth.
PPH is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. PPH happens in 5-10% of all births and accounts for around 70,000 maternal deaths every year, 99% of which happen in low and middle income countries (LMICs).
