Abstract:
Preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality worldwide. While commonly associated with the antenatal period, preeclampsia can develop for the first time postpartum and is often underdiagnosed due to its subtle symptoms. The condition poses serious short and long-term health risks, including chronic hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and PTSD. Despite these risks, many women experience fragmented care, poor postnatal follow-up, and limited guidance on the importance of ongoing monitoring and management. This session will equip care providers with the knowledge and clinical skills to recognize, manage, and refer cases of postpartum preeclampsia effectively. Key topics include its physiological basis, risk factors, clinical signs, and the importance of early detection. The session will also emphasize the care provider's role in ensuring continuity of care, educating families, and supporting long-term health outcomes. Participants will gain practical tools to enhance care quality and reduce preventable maternal complications.
