Dr. Mugahi Richard, Commissioner for Reproductive and Child Health at the Ministry of Health, has sounded the alarm on the dangers of excessive bleeding after childbirth, also known as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).

“Loosing excess blood after child birth is an emergency, shout for help as soon as possible,” Dr. Mugahi urged, emphasizing the need for prompt action to prevent maternal deaths.

PPH is a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for nearly 30% of all maternal deaths. In Uganda, the situation is equally dire, with many new mothers succumbing to this preventable condition.

Dr. Mugahi explained that PPH can occur within 24 hours of delivery, with the first hour being the most critical. “Excessive bleeding can lead to shock, organ failure, and even death if not treated promptly,” he warned.

The commissioner attributed the high incidence of PPH in Uganda to inadequate access to quality healthcare, particularly in rural areas. “Many women give birth at home or in poorly equipped facilities, increasing their risk of developing complications,” he said.

To combat this, Dr. Mugahi advocated for: Increased access to skilled healthcare providers during delivery, Improved training for healthcare workers in PPH management, Enhanced emergency preparedness and response systems,community awareness campaigns to promote timely seeking of medical help among others.

“PPH is a silent killer among new mothers. Let us work together to prevent unnecessary deaths and ensure that every woman has a safe and healthy childbirth experience,” Dr. Mugahi concluded.

The Ministry of Health has pledged to intensify efforts to address PPH, including the rollout of new guidelines and training programs for healthcare providers.
