Like a popular saying, "curiosity is the beginning of all wisdom".
First, I was curious about the reason for no day to celebrate World PPH day while going through the list of important global health days.
I'm glad we have a publication on

Every year, some 70,000 new mothers die from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), the most common cause of maternal mortality. Around 85% of deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
However, despite being a major global health issue, no day is dedicated to raising awareness

As a medical student, I have been inspired by the strides of certain senior colleagues, and this has been sort of a standard for me. For context, I came across the 2018 PRIMUS List before I resumed my first year, and that was all the springboard I needed.
Excited about this and happy to be leading the organizing team.
