The Lancet

Utako   Okamoto   (1918–2016)   is   not   a   name   widely   known,   let   alone   celebrated,   in   medicine   and   global   health.  Yet  this  remarkable  Japanese  scientist  deserves  international   recognition   for   her   heroic   struggle   to   advance  women’s  and  children’s  health.
