A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you��re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Before we master the history of empires that conquered us, let us first master the history of the continent that gave us life. Know Africa. Defend Africa. Build Africa.
His path is usually narrow.
His pace is usually slow.
His promises is usually distant.
But His plan is always good,
And His purpose always glorious in the end.
Trust the Process.
They trained a small class of Africans to administer colonialism on their behalf. At independence that same class inherited power. They'd been trained to manage extraction not development. Then everyone was surprised when they managed extraction not development.
@Nanaezze We are not recycling; that is our problem. We can't dump all our rubbish in landfills. The landfill site also gets full, and then trouble happens.
🇬🇭 “I am the youngest hearse driver in the Central Region. Beyond driving, I also embalm bodies, undertake funeral arrangements, and manage an entire funeral home. My room is just six to seven stairs away from where the bodies are kept. And we knock before we open the chamber just to give respect to the body and tradition.”

@weloveghana042 Are we back to this argument again? Why not enjoy the beauty of the cloth without the back-and-forth argument? The most important thing is that it is African, that is what matters, not "I did it, and you didn't do it".
Jollof rice is from Senegal, and most Africans enjoy it.
A country with a young population should be building factories, technical schools, farms, digital jobs, affordable homes and transport systems. If all we build is party loyalty, campaign slogans and excuses, then we are not preparing the youth. We are wasting them.
