The document emphasizes the need for earlier detection and quick intervention – measures that can save tens of thousands of women annually. Excessive bleeding after childbirth – one of the leading causes of maternal mortality – annually affects millions of women and causes about 45 thousand deaths. Even if PRC does not lead to death, it can cause serious and long -term health problems – from organs disorders to hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and post -traumatic stress disorder. ~ 60 > “postpartum bleeding is the most dangerous complication of childbirth, because it develops with amazing speed.
