Every year, 27 million women bleed excessively after giving birth — nearly 43,000 die.

A new Lancet Series from @HRPresearch, @WHO & @UniofOxford says many deaths can be prevented with earlier detection, blood-loss tools & rapid treatment.

The tools to prevent many deaths from postpartum haemorrhage already exist.

The challenge now is implementation: training health workers, resourcing facilities & making rapid treatment standard practice everywhere.

Contact tracing is now the biggest weakness in the DRC Ebola outbreak. @AfricaCDC says only around 12% of likely contacts in Ituri may have been reached, creating a major risk of sustained community transmission.

The current #Ebola outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain: less fatal than Zaire Ebola, but no approved vaccine.

@JeanMuyembe says hospital care, contact tracing, & community trust remain essential.
