Qualitative study of the role of men in maternal health in resource-limited communities in western Kenya
Conclusion There was considerable discrepancy between how men described their roles and how they actually behaved, although educated men appeared to describe themselves as performing more supportive behaviors compared with male participants with less education. It is suggested that interventions aimed at increasing male involvement should incorporate the existing culturally sanctioned roles men perform as a foundation upon which to build, rather than attempting to construct roles that oppose prevailing norms.

Healthcare providers ’ knowledge and practices associated with postpartum hemorrhage during facility delivery in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Conclusion Healthcare providers had suboptimal knowledge of PPH risk factors, diagnosis, and causes. Strategies that provide ongoing education and equip lower-level facilities with adequate supplies might minimize PPH-related transfers. Providing prenatal women with basic delivery items (e.g. a blood collection device) and misoprostol is a viable option to ensure that essential PPH-prevention tools are available at delivery.
