This study focuses on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a condition that stands out as the leading cause of global maternal mortality. Annually, about 14 million women experience PPH, resulting in approximately 70,000 deaths. This condition presents a higher risk in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly where access to quality care is limited. Recognizing the urgency of addressing this public health problem, the Colombian Ministry of Health and Social Protection has implemented the Maternal Mortality Reduction Acceleration Plan (PARE) to improve maternal mortality indicators and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project will evaluate the results and perception of a new device in the management of stage II PPH in referral hospitals in the department of Valle del Cauca, integrated in the Hospital Padrino strategy. This initiative seeks not only to improve the understanding and treatment of PPH, but also to strengthen institutional capacities through education, creation of telecare networks and care services adapted to local needs.
