Abstract
Background: Poor access to essential medicines remains a barrier to improvement of health in low-income countries. The maternal mortality rate from post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) in Uganda is one of the highest in the world. Uganda launched a misoprostol rollout programme for prevention of PPH in 2009, before WHO added it to the Essential Medicines List. We assessed the rollout programme in Uganda.
