Target Region
We chose India as our target nation for our Postpartum Hemorrhage device. India is a nation with a severe overpopulation issue. PPH is the leading cause of maternal deaths in this region due to the lack of availability of skilled medical professionals. The common ratio of nurses to patients in India is .219 nurses per 1000 patients compared to 9.18 in the US. This discrepancy attests to the high maternal mortality rate in India and other developing countries. Also, due to social and religious constraints, men are not permitted in a delivery room. With our product, we hope to provide patients with a simple device that could be self operated, or operated by a loved one during the post-partum stage.
