Mkanda Salama (Safe Wrap)
What the source says
Postpartum haemorrhaging is a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially in low-resource settings such as rural Tanzania. Worn like a belt around the abdomen, Mkanda Salama massages the uterus and compresses the abdominal aorta to reduce blood loss, saving lives of mothers and babies after delivery and during transport.
