Comment for conflict and health don't let sexual and reproductive health in humanitarian and fragile settings become a casualty of aid cuts and crisis fatigue
In 2025, 300 million people require humanitarian assistance, with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) crises driving 60% of preventable maternal deaths in conflict-affected countries. Despite the proven life-saving impact of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for SRH in Crisis Situations, official development assistance for SRH declined by 27% between 2022 and 2023, threatening implementation in fragile settings. Analysis of MISP Readine…
Reasons for delay in reaching healthcare with severe abortion-related morbidities
Maternal near-miss events are a key measure of maternal health; abortion-related complications are one source of near-miss events. To understand the pathway to care of women with severe abortion-related events in a fragile context, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with women who obtained treatment at a referral hospital in Jigawa State, Nigeria, in 2020–2021 (n = 61). We used the Three Delays Model (Thaddeus & Maine, 1994) to exam…
How to use heat-stable carbetocin and tranexamic acid for the prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage in low-resource settings
Implementing Heat-Stable Carbetocin for Postpartum Haemorrhage Prevention in Low-Resource Settings
Heat-stable carbetocin (HSC), a long-acting oxytocin analogue that does not require cold-chain transportation and storage, is effective in preventing postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) in vaginal and caesarean deliveries in tertiary-care settings. We aimed to identify literature documenting how it is implemented in resource-limited and lower-level maternity care settings to inform policies and practices that enable its introduction in these contexts. A…
Tranexamic Acid for Postpartum Hemorrhage Treatment in Low-Resource Settings
Tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces bleeding in women with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in hospital settings. To guide policies and practices, this rapid scoping review undertaken by two reviewers aimed to examine how TXA is utilized in lower-level maternity care settings in low-resource settings. Articles were searched in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Emcare, the Maternity and Infant Care Database, the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Practice Dat…
Catalyst for change
Implementation of SAC in humanitarian settings-even those with significant legal restrictions-is possible and necessary. Both first and second trimester medication abortion can be safely and effectively provided through both home- and facility-based models of care. Programmatic data provide valuable insights into abortion-related dynamics which must shape operational decision-making. Addressing internal barriers and providing direct field support…
A call to safeguard sexual and reproductive health information and services during Ebola outbreaks
The recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks in 2021 exemplify how sexual and reproductive health services are too often considered unessential during health emergencies. Bleeding for reasons other than EVD, such as pregnancy complications or rape, can be construed as EVD symptoms, reinforcing fear and stigmatisation, and delaying timely access to adequate care. In this commentary, we urgently call on all humanitarian actors to integrate the Mi…
Neonatal mortality burden and trends in UNHCR refugee camps, 2006–2017
The UNHCR HIS provides insights into the neonatal mortality burden among refugees in camp settings and issues to consider in design and use of routine health information systems to monitor neonatal health in sub-national populations. Increased visibility of neonatal deaths and stillbirths among displaced populations can drive advocacy and inform decisions needed to strengthen health systems. Efforts to count every stillbirth and neonatal death ar…
Why Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides safe abortion care and what that involves
MSF responds to needs for the termination of pregnancy, including on request (TPR); it is part of the organization's work aimed at reducing maternal mortality and suffering; and preventing unsafe abortions in the countries where we work. Following the publication of "Why don't humanitarian organizations provide safe abortion care?" we offer an insight into MSF's experience over the past few years. The article looks at the legal concerns and propo…
Care for victims of sexual violence, an organization pushed to its limits
Over the past ten years, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided medical care to almost 118,000 victims of sexual violence. Integrating related care into MSF general assistance to populations affected by crisis and conflicts has presented a considerable institutional struggle and continues to be a challenge. Tensions regarding the role of MSF in providing care to victims of sexual violence and when facing the multiple challenges inherent in d…
