Healthcare Providers’ Practices in Postpartum Hemorrhage Management: A Multi-Centre Cross-Sectional Study in Tanzania

Background

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Tanzania. Accurate diagnosis, proper documentation, and effective patient communication including disclosure and informed consent are essential for quality PPH care. However, evidence on these practices among healthcare providers (HCPs) is limited. This study assessed HCPs practices related to PPH diagnosis, documentation, disclosure and consent in Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (CEmONC) facilities.
