Objective:
To investigate the impact of the PPH Emergency Care package (PPH EmC)-a holistic intervention that uses a bundle approach that has been implemented in Kenya, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Central America-in a low-resource setting.
Methods:
The feasibility and impact of PPH EmC implementation in Migori County, Kenya was studied using a qualitative research design. In March and April 2022 key informants were identified using purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted over Zoom from March to May 2022 until thematic saturation was reached. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed for emerging themes.
Results:
PPH EmC has positively impacted facility and health system preparedness, referral coordination, teamwork and communication, and overall capacity to provide quality PPH emergency care. Participants reported that PPH EmC is sustainable because of its low cost and support from local partners.
Conclusion:
Implementation of PPH EmC in Migori County, Kenya was feasible and positively impacted PPH emergency care.
