Empowering health care workers and mothers is essential to improving maternal outcomes. So pleased to see this being done in Hoima district @apt_sepsis @IDIMakerere @NiwamanyaRitah @PeaceOkwaro

Final @apt_sepsis dissemination trip to West Nile & Northern Uganda. Great to see ongoing behavioural change lived out in consistent practice at sites resulting in fewer cases of #MaternalSepsis & fewer deaths. Site ownership of changes in practice & leadership are sustainable.

Looking forward to seeing how @apt_sepsis can save mothers lives from #MaternalSepsis across Africa as you, @jennymriches @dlissauer and @WHO share the results at #IMNHC2026

Gulu City, @apt_sepsis delighted to share the results with the leadership of districts across the North and West Nile. Dr Joel Lwasa opens our meeting. The study followed over 240,000 births across Uganda and Malawi and reduced infection related deaths and disability by 32%

Sharing results and seeking to ensure people understand them is really important. Together we can continue to make improvements and save mothers lives through ongoing consistent approaches to delivering care. Let's #ChangeBehaviour and save lives.

Celebrating & sharing results for APT-Sepsis. Behavioural change saves lives reducing deaths & disability from maternal infections by 32%. Celebrating midwives, nurses, clinical officers, doctors together reducing the number of mothers who die each day in Uganda giving birth.

Reflecting on how to get key message of behavioural change, rather than training has been key. Seeing ongoing mentorship and coaching producing results has translated into fewer deaths, and fewer women staying in hospital for weeks with slowly healing wounds post sepsis.

At @apt_sepsis & MILK Centre writing workshop. Looking forward to learning together to achieve outcomes across paper writing, blog writing, & policy briefs. One of the exciting thing is personal stories of saved lives by simple intervention from our midwives. @IDIMakerere

Join @PeaceOkwaro & I as we share the @apt_sepsis results @IDIMakerere Research Forum - a 32% reduction in infection relatered maternal mortality and morbitiy, through #BehaviouralChange and the use of #MaternalHealthChampions Please register to join us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

WHO & colleagues in Malawi, Uganda & Liverpool share @apt_sepsis study, implemented best practices carried out consistently reduces mortality from infection by over 30%. Visit apt-sepsis.org/ for more info on how you can implement it at your site #MaternalHealtChampions

Traveling the length & breath of Uganda has been great, seeing the resilience of staff, as they seek to deliver the best of care to mothers giving birth, & the excitement of midwives as they become #MaternalHealthChampions and seeing reduced deaths & cases of sepsis on the wards.

Want to see a reduction in maternal mortality from Infection by over 30%? Read the @apt_sepsis study at @NEJM. Excellent work by @MinofHealthUG & @IDIMakerere in Uganda, & @health_malawi & @MLW_Programme together in delivering this change. This will save mothers lives in LMICs

How can we improve outcomes for pregnant women through #BundlesAndBehaviouralChange? This work is vital as #MaternalMortality remains far to high in many countries, affecting families and communities. Don't miss the @apt_sepsis results @WHO are hosting a webinar on Monday 24th.

Tackling infections and emerging threats. #nsmc2025 how can we reduce deaths from infection? Regular hand hygiene at every moment, using Prophylaxis within 1 hour of surgery starting and monitoring post delivery using MEOWS charts to identify early deterioration @apt_sepsis

'Why are 4000 babies a year still infected with HIV around birth?' Prof Musoke @mujhu_care_ltd importance to ensure improved implementation to eradicate vertical transmission of HIV @CatrionaWaitt @DOLPHIN3Study how do we best transfer study outcomes to real life interventions

Final day #nsmc2025 great to meet so many colleagues across different fields as we seek to reduce #MaternalMortality and learn from each other. Even if as a physician I feel a slight imposter!

Looking forward to day 2 of #nsmc2025. Great to see so many of the @apt_sepsis #MaternalHealthChampions present @AngellaMargare2 @DavidOkiror1 and others. Do come and talk to @PeaceOkwaro @4bitimo and the team as to how we can improve maternal outcomes through #BehaviouralChange.

#nsmc2025 1.6 million hospital deliveries in Uganda last year. Improving mortality rate. But still room to go. Regular partograph use of 8-51% across facilities, monitoring is vital to identify the deteriorating mother to allow early intervention during & after deliveries. #MEOWS
