Every year, tens of thousands of women die from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Through the photos from the "Ending PPH Together" flashmob organised at the 34th ICM Triennial Congress, on World #PPHday we are reminded that these deaths are not inevitable.

Evidence shows that many deaths occur not because treatment is unavailable, but because bleeding is recognised too late. Common practices miss around half of cases, delaying life‑saving care #icm2026 #onemillionmoremidwives
