🌍 L'hémorragie post-partum (HPP) reste la principale cause de mortalité maternelle dans le monde — et nous agissons.

Participez au webinaire mondial AMPLI-PPHI pour découvrir les principales conclusions de six nouveaux articles publiés dans un supplément spécial de l'International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, qui traitent de la mise en œuvre sur le terrain dans six pays d'Afrique et d'Asie :

✅ La carbétoxine thermostable pour la prévention de l'HPP
✅ La distribution anticipée de misoprostol
✅ Le protocole E-MOTIVE, les champs stériles calibrés et le TXA
✅ La mise en pratique des recommandations de l'OMS, de la FIGO et de l'ICM
✅ Le rôle des associations professionnelles dans la pérennisation des progrès

Cette session marque le lancement du supplément AMPLI-PPHI — le premier d'une série de webinaires de formation visant à étendre les interventions prioritaires contre l'HPP dans les milieux à faibles ressources.

Endometriosis affects one in ten people, yet diagnosis is often delayed for many years due to reliance on surgery, limited specialist training and barriers to accessing appropriate care.

A study led by members of the FIGO Committee on Reproductive Medicine, Endocrinology and Infertility (REI), now published in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics (IJGO), shows a significant global move towards using non-invasive imaging, particularly specialist ultrasound and MRI to diagnose endometriosis.

Through a 4-year partnership with Kenya's Ministry of Health led by PATH, @Jhpiego, & @FIGOHQ, Makueni County reported zero from postpartum hemorrhage deaths in 2023 and 2024—down from 12 in 2022. Coordinated maternal efforts save lives.

New independent evaluation findings show how FIGO’s LDI:REACH programme helped transform maternal and newborn care across Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan.

By empowering healthcare providers to lead, advocate and work as teams, the programme strengthened health systems and expanded access to life-saving interventions for post-partum haemorrhage, severe pre-eclampsia, anaemia and pre-term birth.

From policy change to improved clinical outcomes, LDI demonstrates the lasting impact of leadership-driven healthcare transformation.

The FIGO Fertility Passport is a free, downloadable tool designed to improve continuity of fertility care worldwide. Created by the FIGO Committee on Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, it helps prevent repeated, costly investigations and treatment delays when patients move between clinics or healthcare systems.

For patients, it offers a clear, portable record to reduce stress and expenses. For providers, it speeds diagnosis, enhances communication and supports evidence-based decisions. The passport records information for both partners and is especially valuable in low- and middle-income countries where resources are limited.

Hear from Dr Yuda Munyaw in the latest FIGO “Share Your Story” blog, highlighting how FIGO recommendations on assisted vaginal birth are being translated into practice at Haydom Lutheran Hospital in rural Tanzania.

Through structured training, mentorship, teamwork and continuous quality improvement, the team increased safe vacuum-assisted births — helping reduce unnecessary second-stage caesarean sections while maintaining safe maternal and newborn outcomes.

The story also demonstrates the impact of task-sharing, with trained midwives now performing most assisted vaginal births, improving timely access to care in a low-resource rural setting.

A powerful example of evidence-based guidance improving maternal and newborn care in practice. Read the full blog: https://t.co/d2kceacjLd
