Mapping referral delays in postpartum hemorrhage care

“Good outcomes should not depend on whether the right person happened to be standing nearby.”

During an obstetrics rotation, Amara saw how quickly a routine delivery could become an emergency when blood products, transport, and senior review were not coordinated. She developed a retrospective quality-improvement project across three referral hospitals to map where delays occur between the first warning sign and definitive treatment. Her small team is reviewing de-identified timestamps, interviewing frontline staff, and turning the findings into a practical escalation checklist for maternity units with limited resources.
