Maternal death is one of the most important health problems in Turkey and in the rest of world. The reason for more than 1/3 of maternal deaths is postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage caused deaths occur approximately 14 million times a year. Of these postnatal deaths, 45% occur after the first 24 hours, and 66% occur in the first week. Since diagnosis of the emergency situation is not easy, most of the deaths occur during birth or in the first 24 hours after giving birth. Postpartum bleeding is an emergency obstetric case. Therefore, it is included in the emergency obstetric care services around the world and in our country. This study presents important information about providing a joint approach and coordination in protective, therapeutic and rehabilitating services for fighting postpartum hemorrhage. This evidence-based information aims to help protect women from postpartum hemorrhage and manage cases of hemorrhage.
