🩸 Poor nutrition, heavy menstruation & malaria are common risk factors for anaemia.

💔 Anaemia increases your risk of postpartum haemorrhage. Most women giving birth don't know they're anaemic.

This #IWD2024, we ask why vulnerable women are excluded from clinical trials.

This leads to a huge knowledge gap on the effectiveness & safety of medicines in pregnancy & causes issues when pregnant women need healthcare.

How does maternal #anaemia increase risk of postpartum haemorrhage (#PPH)?

Recent evidence from the WOMAN-2 Trial showed that pregnant women with anaemia are more likely to suffer life-threatening bleeding after childbirth.

Watch to find out why 🫘🩸

The @WHO #PPH roadmap prioritises research on TXA for PPH prevention and alternative routes of TXA administration. We are investigating both through the I’M WOMAN trial, part of the #TRANSFORM project funded by @Unitaid, aiming to expand equitable access to #TXA #TXA4Bleeding

[I'M WOMAN trial @TransformTXA]

#TXA is a lifesaving treatment for #PPH. The WOMAN-PharmacoTXA trial found that intramuscular injection could be a potential alternative to current intravenous #TXA. The #imwoman trial will provide more evidence @WOMANtrial @UNITAID #txa4bleeding

500 million+ women of reproductive age are anemic.

Are we ignoring role of anaemia in causing severe bleeding in childbirth? 🩸

Commenting in @TheLancet Prof Ian Roberts questions policy & practice focusing on use of uterotonics for reducing maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage.

🩸 Women with severe anaemia are 7x more likely to die or become dangerously ill from bleeding after childbirth than those with moderate anaemia.

New evidence highlights the urgent need to prioritise anaemia treatment & prevention to reduce PPH risk.

Severe bleeding after childbirth is the biggest killer of mothers worldwide. But it doesn't have to be.

The Mamagusha tells the story of suffering caused by PPH and the potential for equitable access to treatment to save lives.
