Скачать или смотреть Saving Mothers' Lives: How Structured Protocols Cut Maternal Sepsis Deaths by 30%

A groundbreaking study reveals a simple yet effective strategy to reduce maternal mortality. Learn how structured infection-prevention protocols, like the WHO's hand-hygiene protocol and early sepsis management bundle, can save lives in resource-constrained settings. With global maternal health outcomes lagging, this approach offers a scalable solution. Discover the impact of the APT-Sepsis program and its potential to revolutionize maternal care worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
Structured infection-prevention protocols reduce severe infections and deaths by 32% in a trial across 59 hospitals in Malawi and Uganda.
The APT-Sepsis program emphasizes consistent hygiene, early infection detection, and proper antibiotic use.
Hospitals in the trial showed improved hand-washing compliance, increased antibiotic prophylaxis during C-sections, and more routine vital sign monitoring.
WHO and partners are working with governments to adapt and scale this model, addressing maternal health disparities globally.
Maternal health risks remain high in low-income settings, conflict zones, and among marginalized women, highlighting the need for equitable access to quality care.
