Replacing existing practices for delivery of the placenta with an
evidence-based new protocol, PRIME II has trained providers in three African countries in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) through active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). Providers working at all levels of the health care systems in Benin, Ethiopia and Mali are demonstrating their ability to perform AMTSL. In addition to its value in
averting maternal death and morbidity, providers have found AMTSL to be safer, cleaner, faster and often less expensive than previous practices for both the client and the facility.
