Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading preventable cause of maternal illness and death globally, accounting for up to 20% of deaths in developing regions. Improving availability and awareness of interventional radiology (IR) services such as uterine artery embolization may improve maternal morbidity and mortality in these regions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PPH and IR services landscapes in Kenya using geographic information systems (GIS) analytic mapping.
