“Buy Quality Oxytocin, Keep it Cold” message poised to make waves

Late last year, the Maternal Health Supplies Caucus exhorted country governments to purchase only oxytocin approved by a stringent regulatory authority or prequalified by the WHO. The Caucus’ core message “Buy quality oxytocin, keep it cold” has been worked into an advocacy framework for use by maternal and child health advocates communicating with government policymakers, civil society, and other stakeholders. “We know what to do and we have the technology. We just need to figure out how to do it efficiently and effectively so that no woman needs to worry about dying when giving life,” writes MHS Caucus Chair Beth Yeager in her guest post on Chemonics’ blogsite.
