Introducing misoprostol for the management of postpartum hemorrhage in Zimbabwe: final report on operational research.

Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) is the most common cause of maternal mortality globally, leading to a woman's death every seven minutes. In Zimbabwe, there has been a 300% increase in the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) between 1994 and 2010 and the MMR was estimated at 960 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2012.2-3 Overall, 14% of all maternal deaths in Zimbabwe are due to PPH.
