With growing importance on the need to take care of one's health, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued new guidelines to help pregnant women worldwide. The new rules aim to help prevent, diagnose, and treat postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), which causes excessive bleeding after childbirth, to millions of women across the globe.

Women go through a lot during their journey in pregnancy, and with them facing so many different kinds of challenges, the need to help ease their pain is important. These maternal health guidelines, were co-published with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) and the International Confederation of Midwives, and further highlight the urgent need for earlier detection and faster intervention to prevent death among new mothers.

PPH is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality globally, causing nearly 45,000 deaths due to excessive bleeding after childbirth.
