Here health agents are role playing what to do when a mother continues to bleed after delivering her baby. They are to call for help; put baby to breast, massage the uterus, put a large bandage on her and take her to the closes clinic where she will be transported to the hospital. Haiti has an extremely high maternal death rate. HHF received a large grant to look at ways to decrease this devastating problem.
