KIRKLAND, QC — September 30, 2024 — Organon Canada, a subsidiary of Organon (NYSE: OGN), a global healthcare company with a focus on women’s health, is announcing the availability of the JADA® System to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted.1

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is defined as blood loss of 500 mL or more following vaginal delivery, or 1,000 mL or more following cesarean section.3 

Globally, PPH represents the leading cause of maternal deaths.2 In Canada, PPH increased by 22% from 2003 to 2010.4 Despite being one of the more common complications of birth,5 there has been little progress in the space.6,7  

“The availability of the JADA® System represents a new treatment option for women in Canada in the management of post-partum hemorrhage, the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide,2 and marks an important milestone in our company’s ethos to be Here for Her Health,” said Michael Casia, President and Managing Director, Organon Canada.  

In recognition of the growing need for action to improve PPH prevention and care, the World Health Organization (WHO) is working alongside key stakeholders in the public and private sector, including Organon, to tackle this issue through research, advocacy and progress with the first global coalition focused on PPH.7  

The JADA® System became part of the Organon women’s health portfolio in June 2021, as part of the company’s first acquisition, continuing to build upon our leadership in women’s health. The JADA® System was approved for use in Canada in February 2024.
