The study evaluated the APT-Sepsis (Active Prevention and Treatment of Maternal Sepsis) program, which improves hand hygiene, infection prevention, and early treatment of sepsis in pregnant and recently postpartum women.[1] The trial included 59 health facilities in Malawi and Uganda, where 431,394 babies were born during the study.[1] In the intervention group, the primary outcome (infectious death, near-death, or severe infection) occurred in 1.4% of patients, compared to 1.9% in the control group, representing a 32% risk reduction.[1][3] Hand hygiene compliance improved from 15% in the control group to 33% in the intervention group.[3] Administration of antibiotic prophylaxis before caesarean section increased from 58% to 74%.[3] The program was effective without requiring additional resources, making it scalable even in resource-constrained facilities.[4] Results show that structured, systemic interventions can significantly reduce infectious complications and improve maternal survival.[1]
