SCIDaR Secures Catalytic Opportunity Funding to Tackle PPH in Nigeria with New and Lesser-Used Postpartum Hemorrhage Medicines

As part of SCIDaR’s continued devotion to ensuring that no woman dies giving birth, we are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Catalytic Opportunity Fund for Introduction and Scale-Up of New and Lesser-Used Postpartum Hemorrhage Medicines (NLUM-PPH COF).

Postpartum hemorrhage- PPH (excessive bleeding after childbirth) is one of the leading causes (27%) of maternal mortality in Nigeria. While PPH is preventable and can be managed, several factors, such as, poor care-seeking behavior, and delivery systems continue to contribute to high mortality rates.
