The study
assessed post-partum blood loss among women in two areas of Bangladesh and
explored community perceptions, recognition, and response.
A cross-sectional
survey among 840 women was conducted in two sites to estimate excessive blood
loss in the study population. In-depth
interviews were conducted among a sub-sample of women (n=34), husbands (n=15),
mothers-in-law (15), and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) (11).
Two Focus Group
Discussions (FGD) were held with TBAs and village health care providers. Among
post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) cases, approximately 60% perceived blood loss as
excessive.
