At the Regional Think Tank for Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition, which convened on the 27th March, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya, partners shared ideas and experiences from their various countries to tackle and strengthen across the continent.

Discussions highlighted the importance of scaling up evidence-based interventions like the E-Motive bundle, improving access to skilled birth attendants, and fostering cross-country collaboration to reduce maternal mortality.

The African Centre of Excellence for Population Health and Policy (ACEPHAP) is currently implementing the AIM-MNCHN project in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, through a cascade training model in five selected health facilities.

This training aims to enhance the capacities of frontline health workers to improve maternal, newborn, child, and nutrition health outcomes through evidence-based skills acquisition.

The cascade model provides an opportunity for trained individuals to empower other health workers in their respective facilities, thus reaching a larger number of people.

Earlier a TOT training was conducted in the state alongside Lagos state.

The Director of ACEPHAP, Prof. Hadiza Shehu Galadanci presented and moderated a critical session during the conference, showcasing both innovative solutions and global policy discussions aimed at improving maternal and newborn health outcomes.

In her presentation titled “Accelerating Progress: From Evidence & Innovation into Action: PPH Bundle,” she explained a practical, research-driven approach to tackling postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of maternal deaths. The E-MOTIVE strategy integrates early detection with a bundle of timely treatments, including uterotonics, tranexamic acid, and fluid management, designed to be simple, effective, and scalable across low-resource settings.

According to Prof. Galadanci, the project has trained over 1178 healthcare professionals which include doctors, nurses and midwives who now training other community health workers. There are also other projects conducting training on the same E-motive bundle to enable its scale-up, she said.

In addition, Prof. Galadanci moderated the Lancet Commission on Maternal and Newborn Health session, a high-level dialogue focused on addressing stalled progress and persistent inequalities in maternal and newborn care.

The session emphasized the need for coordinated, data-driven action, while also exploring emerging issues such as climate change and stillbirths. By bringing together global experts and aligning scientific evidence with lived experiences, the Commission aims to drive impactful policies and interventions that improve survival and quality of care.

These sessions are particularly relevant to developing countries like Nigeria, where maternal mortality remains a significant public health challenge. The E-MOTIVE intervention offers a practical and scalable solution for reducing deaths from PPH in healthcare facilities with limited resources.

Meanwhile, the insights from the Lancet Commission highlight the importance of strengthening health systems, improving data utilization, and addressing broader social determinants of health. Together, they provide a clear pathway for advancing maternal and newborn health outcomes worldwide.

Amira is one of the many survivors of postpartum haemorrhage, thanks to the E-MOTIVE bundle. Today, she is alive and thriving with her children.

Three years ago, during her first pregnancy, Amira experienced postpartum haemorrhage, a potentially life-threatening condition that causes more than 18,000 fatalities in Nigerian women yearly.

With the help of the E-MOTIVE bundle, the health workers were able to accurately measure Amira’s blood loss, detect the haemorrhage early, and trigger an immediate application of the E-MOTIVE treatment.

At CCSI, we are proud to be part of the advocacy and implementation of MNCNH consortium that shaped Amira’s story, and the stories of countless women whose lives are being protected through timely care.

The Africa Center of Excellence for Population Health and Policy (ACEPHAP) participated in E-MASTER Phase I study: Diagnosis of Postpartum Haemorrhage at Caesarean Section – A Multi-country Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy Study during the Site Initiation Visit (SIV) training held from 9–11 March 2026 at the Kigali Marriott Hotel, Rwanda.

The meeting brought together researchers and partners from multiple countries to strengthen collaboration and align strategies for improving the diagnosis and management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of maternal mortality. The sessions focused on study protocols, programme design & training and research coordination to ensure effective implementation across participating sites.

The E-MASTER Project inception meeting marked the formal start of the study and provided an opportunity for participating institutions to review the research objectives and operational plans.

The meeting was attended by leading maternal health experts, including the Director of ACEPHAP, Prof. Hadiza Galadanci, Dr. Saeed Suleiman, Dr. Maryam Lawal Wada alongside team members who contributed on improving the timely diagnosis of postpartum haemorrhage during caesarean section.
