Dr Utako had created TXA with the hopes to save mothers dying after childbirth.
The WOMAN trial collaborators picked up on Dr Utako work and looked at the effect of tranexamic acid as a treatment for postpartum haemorrhage.

The trials they contribute to are an important route to transform the health and lives of women around the world.
