Every day, women die from postpartum hemorrhage in Bangladesh. Rashida feared she would, too – she had heavy post-delivery bleeding with previous pregnancies and imagined it would be worse with twins. But then she learned about misoprostol, a simple pill that can prevent postpartum hemorrhage, the leading cause of maternal death. Learn how EngenderHealth’s efforts helped her safely deliver twin boys and stay healthy enough to care for them. Read more.

Rashida’s wish: that all women across Bangladesh have the care they need to become healthy mothers.

Her wish list includes:

  • Outreach kits for community health workers
  • 100 doses of misoprostol
  • Training for 10 community health workers

Help make Rashida's wish come true!
