A recent study about maternal deaths at Kawempe National Referral Hospital in Uganda found that “as many as 1 in 50 maternal deaths worldwide occur in Uganda.” Moreover, between 2016 and 2018, around 84% of maternal deaths within the hospital alone were considered preventable. Each year, over 70,000 women die from postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), […] The post Duke and Uganda’s Makerere University Join to Combat Maternal Mortality appeared first on Research Blog.| Research Blog
