Roundtable Transcribers/Note takers (Kebbi and Ondo State)

Accelerating Measurable Progress and Leveraging Investments for PPH Impact (AMPLIPPHI) is a two- and half-year project that will catalyze early adoption and set the stage for scale up of new and recently recommended drugs for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in high-burden countries with a focus on DRC, Guinea, India, Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia. AMPLI- Nigeria will generate evidence (feasibility, acceptability, costing) to support the expansion of new PPH medicines at all different levels of the health system. Project is focused on supporting efforts towards State and national readiness, from community to district and national level stakeholders, to help propel scale-up after life of project. Implementation is in 2 LGAs in Kebbi State and 3 LGAs in Ondo State.

Project is currently conducting a study to generate evidence on the feasibility, acceptability and budget impact of expanding the package of drugs (HSC and TXA) and approaches available for prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).

The specific objectives are:

• Assess the feasibility and acceptability of introducing heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) for PPH prevention, calibrated drapes for assessment of postpartum blood loss, and tranexamic acid (TXA) as part of a clinical care bundle for PPH treatment at selected health centers and hospitals.
• Examine how and why barriers and enablers to expanding the package of drugs and approaches for PPH prevention and treatment vary within and across selected project sites.
• Assess the financial consequences (budget impacts) of introducing HSC for PPH prevention, calibrated drapes for assessment of postpartum blood loss, and TXA as part of a first response bundle for PPH treatment at health centers and hospitals in selected project sites.

The Transcribers will participate in data collection training and transcribe recordings in their respective states of assignment i.e. Kebbi, Ondo. S/he will collect recordings from Data Analyst (soft copy) electronically daily and transcribe. Completed transcripts will be submitted to the Data Analyst for review and approval.
