Today we celebrate a milestone — together with @FIGOHQ and @world_midwives, we launched the new @WHO Consolidated Guidelines on Postpartum Haemorrhage.
These guidelines mark a major step forward: Earlier diagnosis. Faster action. More lives saved: who.int/news/item/05-10-2025…
📢 A historic moment in maternal health at FIGO President’s Session!
WHO, FIGO and ICM have launched the first-ever joint global guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).
“It is not just a document, it is a commitment to do better…we have a responsibility to save lives and have health systems that move fast enough.” — Prof Pascale Allotey, HRP Research WHO

Mums and children have the right to quality health services at every stage of life.
That’s why the health of mothers in particular will be at the centre of our work and the theme of #WorldHealthDay 2025.
Great to see the @WHOBulletin discussing the #SRHR of older adults.

Escalating violence in the north of #Gaza has blocked humanitarian missions from reaching people with food and medical supplies. Meanwhile, health care continues to be attacked.
We ask Israel to give @WHO and our partners access to the north so we can reach those who desperately need aid.
Under international humanitarian law, all actors have a duty to ensure health care is protected, and not attacked.

It’s estimated that universal high-quality midwifery care in all countries could save up to 4.3 million lives annually by 2035.
To make this a reality, @WHO launched the Global Position Paper outlining how countries can transition to sustainable midwifery models of care, where midwives are the main providers for women and newborns from before pregnancy through to the postnatal period: bit.ly/4h8Xx1W

The PPH Roadmap outlined 15 top priority research questions to save lives.
This trial answered the first question ➡️ early detection + first response bundle = 60% decrease in maternal deaths. 💪🏽
How much more can we achieve?

DYK: less than 5% of clinical trials included pregnant women.
New @WHO guidance includes practical considerations for setting up trials to include pregnant and lactating women, given they have unique healthcare needs. #Maternalhealth
New guidance to enhance clinical trials in all countries
It aims to strengthen country-led research and development, advancing health science to make safe, effective interventions more accessible and affordable globally.

DYK: Diagnostic evaluation is the 1st critical medical intervention in the episode of any condition. Even with >300,000 participant data received and counting, global applicability of PPH definition means every relevant PPH data counts. @WHO & @HRPresearch are counting on you!
