Several low cost and low tech interventions would increase the chances of mothers and their babies surviving childbirth, according to a new report released Tuesday by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Those include changes to the protocol for treating serious bleeding, known as postpartum hemorrhage, which is the leading cause of maternal death, treating anemia with a fast-working IV drip rather than tablets, and preventing infections with a specific antibiotic.
The foundation used modeling to estimate that the wide adoption of these maternal and child health interventions in low- and middle-income countries would save 2 million lives. The foundation would like to see world leaders, who will gather at the U.N. General Assembly later this month, recommit to the goals and to promise new funding to help meet them, Suzman said.
