Table 2 Description of delivery settings that were defined for the purpose of modelling uterotonic coverage in status quo and intervention scenarios. The uterotonics used for prevention of PPH (in non-operative deliveries) at each setting in status quo and intervention scenarios are specified

  2. aIn intervention scenario, injectable oxytocin continues to be used for operative deliveries, while inhaled oxytocin is used for non-operative deliveries in settings where roll out is modelled. See appendix (Additional file 1) for estimates of operative delivery rates in each delivery setting
