🌍 Saving Lives with NASG in Siha,KCMC-Kilimanjaro 🌍

On 13/09/2025, a mother was referred from Siha District Hospital to KCMC Regional Hospital after experiencing a severe case of abruptio placentae. She had undergone an emergency C-section, lost about 1.5 liters of blood, and her hemoglobin had dropped critically to 6.

On arrival, she was in hypovolemic shock. The healthcare team immediately applied the Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG). The NASG was kept on for 24 hours while resuscitation and blood transfusion were arranged.

Thanks to this timely intervention, the mother stabilized, received two units of blood, and recovered well. Her newborns were also admitted for care and are doing fine. 💙

✨ This real case is a powerful testimony of how the NASG can save lives by bridging the gap between emergency referral and definitive treatment—especially in resource-limited settings.

Improving health care is a pressing issue in Nepal. Despite progress, critical issues in health care access and quality keep morbidity and mortality rates high.

The Baal Swasthya project, a collaboration of Corus organizations Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health, is transforming health outcomes by reducing barriers and enhancing health services. Innovative components of the project include the E-MOTIVE intervention package and the non-pneumatic antishock garment (NASG) to address postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal mortality. By partnering with the Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (NESOG), Baal Swasthya has strengthened the capacity of health care workers to implement the E-MOTIVE package and utilize the NASG in clinical settings.

Learn more about how the project is making a difference and contributing to positive health outcomes in Nepal here: https://corusinternational.org/blog/2024/improving-maternal-newborn-and-child-health-nepal

🌍 Testimonial from Siha District Hospital – The Life-Saving Impact of NASG 💙

Recently, Siha District Hospital, one of our project beneficiaries, managed a critical case of postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony.

The healthcare team promptly applied the Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) alongside a uterine balloon tamponade before transferring the patient to Mawenzi Regional Referral Hospital.

Upon arrival, a practitioner who had not received prior training on NASG attempted to remove the garment. The patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly. Thankfully, trained practitioners quickly intervened, reapplied the NASG, and stabilized the patient in combination with continued resuscitation and supportive care.

After six hours, bleeding had stopped, the NASG was safely removed, and the patient made a full recovery—receiving three units of whole blood and two units of fresh frozen plasma, with no surgery required.

This incident highlighted the critical role of training. Mawenzi Hospital has since prioritized strengthening NASG knowledge and practice, with previously trained SAMITA VTT practitioners stepping forward to mentor their colleagues.

👉 This is a powerful reminder: with timely intervention, knowledge, and the right tools, mothers’ lives can be saved.

🌍 Strengthening Maternal & Child Health through Ultrasound Services

Ultrasound remains one of the most essential diagnostic tools in improving maternal and child health outcomes.

At Siha Hospital, we are continually reminded of the life-saving impact of the ultrasound machine donated under the PANETA initiative. Each day, it stands as a symbol of hope and progress for mothers and children.

📌 Radiographer Hillary continues to share inspiring stories of how women in Siha are benefiting from this service — with early detection of complications transforming care and saving lives. These powerful testimonials highlight the true value of this donation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rita Rampure — your generosity and compassion will forever be remembered within this hospital and the Siha community. 💙

🤝 Special thanks to PANETA, Siha Hospital, healthcare providers, and all partners who make this journey possible. Together, we are ensuring healthier futures for mothers and children.

**🚨 A story of collaboration, training, and a life saved. 🚨**

Last year, we equipped the incredible team at the KCMC Zonal Hospital maternity wing with specialized training and 10 life-saving Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garments (NASGs). Recently, we saw this investment in action.

A patient with severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) was in critical condition. Despite emergency surgery, she remained in profound shock. The medical team sprang into action, deploying one of the donated NASGs.

The garment stabilized her, acting as a vital "bridge to life" for 72 hours in the ICU. Today, she is on the road to recovery.

This is what happens when we unite for a common goal. The NASG is a powerful tool, but it’s the skilled hands of healthcare workers and the support of a global community that truly saves lives.

This success was made possible through collaboration. With gratitude to our partners and stakeholders who make such impact possible:

• (Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre) - Your team's skill is inspiring.

• Tanzania (Ministry of Health Tanzania) - Thank you for your leadership in strengthening health systems.

• / - Your support fuels our mission.

• / - Your global guidance paves the way.

• - Together, we are turning the tide.

This is proof that achieving zero preventable maternal deaths is possible

Acting Now to Save Mothers: Strengthening Emergency Readiness in Our Maternity Wards**

Our team conducted vital supportive supervision visits to maternity wings to partner with frontline healthcare providers.

Our goal: to ensure every mother has the safest possible birth experience.

A critical focus was on **preparing for obstetric hemorrhage**—a leading cause of maternal mortality. Our assessment revealed urgent gaps that we are now addressing:

* 🚨 **Missing Emergency Carts:** Essential "obstetric hemorrhage carts" were often unavailable or incomplete.
* 🚨 **Inconsistent Systems:** Many units lacked daily checklists and a reliable process to restock life-saving supplies.

**Our immediate action plan is clear:** We are rolling out standardized, fully-equipped emergency carts and implementing mandatory daily checks across all facilities.

We are also emphasizing the use of the **Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG)**, a first-aid device that stabilizes women in shock, buying critical time for treatment.

Through hands-on skills drills and collaborative problem-solving, we are closing these gaps together. This work directly empowers our incredible healthcare teams and builds a stronger, more resilient system to protect mothers and newborns.

Our mission is unwavering: zero preventable maternal deaths.
