This includes identifying women at risk, followed by early detection, treatment, and follow-up of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy to promote best clinical practice for these women and their infants.
The guideline was commissioned by the Ministry of Health with input from a multidisciplinary team.
The guideline is designed for health professionals to use to support clinical judgement, knowledge and expertise, and provide a consistent approach for management and treatment.
