Implication

Quasi-experimental intervention shows significant reduction in postpartum haemorrhage rates in maternal care facilities, suggesting improved health systems can enhance care quality.

Key Points

To quantify the causal effect of a structured maternal care facility systems intervention on postpartum haemorrhage rates.
Quasi-experimental difference-in-differences design
42 public health facilities assessed
Intervention included clinical protocols, emergency equipment, and simulation training
Comparison with control facilities continuing routine care
Used generalized linear mixed model for analysis
Statistically significant reduction in postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) rate observed
Adjusted incidence rate ratio was 0.72, indicating a 28% relative reduction
Improvements also noted in adherence to clinical guidelines and availability of essential commodities
