We needed to demonstrate that using the drape and using the bundled treatment, as Adisa mentioned,
would in fact improve the outcomes.
So we needed to design and conduct a definitive clinical trial, which found a tremendous reduction in the number of women who were bleeding excessively or having surgery or indeed dying from postpartum hemorrhage.
These were all reduced with the emotive intervention.
The recommendation from the World Health Organization and other international bodies supports the use of it throughout the world.
So the recommendation isn't restricted to just low-income countries.
The need for an objective measurement device like this blood collection drape is needed for every vaginal birth, for every delivery throughout the world.
It's a tremendous feeling.
I've been doing clinical trials research for nearly three decades.
But to have a trial that produces the findings that emotive trial did, which was a massive reduction in women suffering severe postpartum hemorrhage or dying from it.
is not very common.
But then to see that research finding being translated into policy and recommendations, and then health ministries and governments and healthcare providers throughout the world taking up the intervention and making it a reality for women is truly a dream come true.
So it's a tremendous feeling.
