ABOUT THE TRIAL

The WOMAN trial aims to provide the research based information to prevent women dying during childbirth.

The WOMAN trial is testing whether tranexamic acid, a blood clot stabiliser that was discovered in Japan in the 1950’s, can become an essential tool for fighting excessive bleeding soon after giving birth.
