Every year 7 million women who survive
childbirth suffer serious healthcare consequences, mainly due to anaemia and
PPH. Haemorrhage is also the largest cause of maternal death, killing almost
100,000 women each year – even though it is preventable and manageable with the
right knowledge, skills and resources.
Told in their own words, this film follows
the stories of a number of survivors of PPH in Ghana, highlighting the need and
benefit from investing in maternal health, including training and education of
health care workers, women themselves – rather than just saving one life, this
is making an investment in future generations.
Film by Medical Aid Films, Yann Verbeke,
