1. Confirmé A plastic pouch known as the maternal drape is helping tackle maternal deaths, "one of the world's most intractable health problems." NPR and Premium Times describe a calibrated drape with a collection pouch. Used with a treatment bundle, it helps detect bleeding after childbirth early, and bleeding is a leading cause of maternal death. A large trial in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania found the approach reduced severe bleeding. What would it take to stop women from bleeding to death after childbirth? (NPR) · In Kaduna, a new intervention is saving women from excessive bleeding after childbirth (Premium Times)
2. Introuvable The pouch "costs 80 cents." I found no source giving 80 cents. NPR's 2023 report put the sheet-with-a-pouch at $1–2, and a Kenyan report cited a South African price under R30. Prices may vary by buyer and volume, and the Times article wasn't available to check. A plastic sheet with a pouch could be a 'game changer' for maternal mortality (NPR)
3. Introuvable The drape is "helping to save thousands of women from dying in childbirth." The trial found fewer severe bleeding cases, and NPR says it also found fewer maternal deaths from bleeding. I found no source that counts 'thousands' of lives saved by the drape, and the drape works as part of a treatment bundle. A plastic sheet with a pouch could be a 'game changer' for maternal mortality (NPR)
4. Introuvable The New York Times published a report on Nov. 3 about maternal drapes in Nigeria. My searches did not return the Times article, so I could not check its date, content or the Nigeria angle. Premium Times does report drape use in Kaduna, Nigeria, but that is a different article.
