According to the government order, the cause of about 20% of deaths of new mothers is postpartum hemorrhage.
The Karnataka government gave administrative approval for all the 147 taluk hospitals in the State to establish cryoprecipitate, or Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP), in the blood storage units, Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao announced in a social media post on February 13.
This move is aimed at preventing postpartum hemorrhage, according to the Government Order shared by the Minister.
The order said that the cause of about 20% of deaths of new mothers is postpartum hemorrhage. “FFP is a blood component that contains pro-cogulent factors, which help control bleeding,” it added.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
