RhoGam, a medication used to prevent Rh immunization in Rh-negative mothers, was developed in the 1960s by Dr. Coombs and his colleagues, including Dr. Sir William Liley. The formulation was created to provide passive immunization against Rh-positive blood cells that might enter the mother's circulation during pregnancy or childbirth. This innovation significantly reduced the incidence of hemolytic disease of the newborn.
