Hypertension in Pregnancy

According to the World Health Organization, hypertension in pregnancy affects 5-10% of all pregnancies globally and is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

In 2019, mDoc’s prevalence study (published in BMJ Open) on risk factors for pre-eclampsia/eclampsia among women of reproductive age (WRA) in 4 LGAs, revealed a 36% prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) among WRA.

However, proper management and early detection can significantly improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
