abstract: 'The provision of safe and effective delivery care for all women in poor

  countries remains elusive, resulting in a continuing burden of mortality

  in general and mortality from post-partum haemorrhage in particular.

  Deployment of a functional health system and effective linkage of the

  health system to communities are the necessary prerequisites for the

  provision of the life-saving technical interventions that will make a

  difference in individual cases. Sadly, two factors militate against

  progress: the mantra that `we know what works'' (resulting in some

  serious gaps in evidence for best practice in resource-poor settings)

  and a lack of large-scale investment in maternity services to counteract

  the degradation of infrastructure and depletion of human resources

  evident in many countries.'
