ISSHP News
October 26, 2014 – New Orleans, La. – The International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) and the Preeclampsia Foundation tonight announced a collaborative program at the 2014 ISSHP World Congress to advance research in the field of hypertension in pregnancy. EMpowering Progress in Obstetric and Women’s hEalth Research (EMPOWER) creates and supports partnerships between seasoned investigators and young investigators in low resource settings to improve research capacity, primarily in the area of high blood pressure in pregnancy. Preeclampsia, the most dangerous form of pregnancy hypertension, is estimated to contribute to at least 120 maternal and 1300 fetal or newborn deaths every day throughout the world, primarily in regions such as the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Latin America. Most of these cases are considered preventable.
Formation of Low and MIddle Income Country ISSHP group
One of ISSHP´s aims is to develop research and clinical changes that improve management for pregnant women with hypertension in low and middle income countries (LMIC). To this end ISSHP has formed a small group to advise Council on practical ways ISSHP can engage in such plans. More information will be presented during the 2014 World Meeting in New Orleans.
