We are writing to address the growing interest in the role of artificial intelligence (AI) within healthcare, particularly in the field of reproductive health. As technology continues to evolve, AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to transform how we diagnose, treat, and improve access to reproductive services, especially in underserved communities. AI-driven tools, supported by machine learning and big data analytics, are already demonstrating their potential in enhancing outcomes in reproductive health.

- Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, and this study investigated the feasibility and acceptability of using heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) for prevention and tranexamic acid (TXA) for treatment in five Sub-Saharan African countries.
- Conducted between May and December 2022, the study involved a mixed methods approach, assessing the usage and healthcare providers' perceptions of these medications in facilities across Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Uganda.
- Results showed high administration rates of HSC and TXA during appropriate times with no reported adverse events, indicating that these medicines can be safely and acceptably integrated into maternal care, although ongoing training and improved
complications, infectious diseases, maternal and infant health in disasters, gender-based violence, healthcare access inequities, mental health impacts, and food security issues. Findings reveal an uneven distribution of coverage across continents, with potential language bias in English-dominated sources. Acknowledging limitations, future research directions emphasize a more inclusive approach, incorporating diverse linguistic perspectives and qualitative exploration of community experiences.

Although progress has been made in reducing maternal mortality, challenges remain, including limited access to skilled care and regional disparities in accessing quality care. This paper presents the first comprehensive analysis of the burden of different causes of maternal deaths reported in the Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) system at the district level from 2016 to 2019.
