Maternal suicide risk among refugees and migrants
Suicide is a leading cause of maternal mortality across all income settings [1]. Published data underestimates the true burden because these deaths are frequently reported as accidental [1]. Pregnancy-related suicide in refugee and migrant populations is rarely reported, although risk is probably increased as a result of multiple psychosocial and socioeconomic stresses [2]. Data on suicide rates of refugees and migrants before resettlement are particularly scarce. (Source: International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics)

SERAH: Supporting Expanded Roles for safe Abortion care by Health workers—A working group to enable the implementation of the WHO guidelines for expanded roles of health workers in safe abortion and postabortion care
Women often resort to unsafe abortion when they encounter barriers to accessing safe services. Globally, at least 8% of maternal mortality is attributable to unsafe abortion [1]. A key objective of Every Woman Every Child’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health [2] is to increase access to safe abortion to reduce maternal mortality. Furthermore, ensuring the availability and provision of safe abortion and postabortion care has been included by the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health in Essential Interventions, Commodities and Guidelines for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn an...

Evaluation of different models of access to misoprostol at the community level to improve maternal health outcomes in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Nigeria
Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries, accounting for more than 30% of maternal deaths [1,2], and it is arguably the most preventable [3]. The risk of hemorrhage at birth is highest for women who deliver at home because they do not benefit from the support of skilled birth attendants and are less likely to receive care and medications that prevent postpartum hemorrhage. One promising approach to the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage among these women is to provide misoprostol—an inexpensive pill that, when taken immediately after delivery, can reduce the risk of postpa...
