“…Among 379 care providers interviewed in a study from Nigeria, only 2.9% mentioned aspirin as a preventive intervention for preeclampsia, and only 9.0% of those who had knowledge of aspirin use mentioned having ever practiced it. 20 In another study, which included 136 health workers, most participants (63.0%) were found to be knowledgeable that preeclampsia is preventable, but only 18.0% of participants have ever practiced low-dose aspirin for preeclampsia prevention. 21…”

“…Of 379 maternal health providers from 96 healthcare facilities across Nigeria, only 56.9% of doctors and 70% of nurses and midwives could identify signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia. 15 In 29 primary healthcare centres in Ogun State, Nigeria, 16 170 community-based health providers were able to safely and effectively provide treatment for pre-eclampsia and eclampsia; there were no cases of hematoma or infection following 137 intramuscular magnesium sulphate injections for pre-eclampsia. In settings where the majority of preventable maternal deaths are a function of delays in triage, treatment, and transport to facility, these findings bring imperatives for optimising health worker roles and for generating recommendations for task sharing.…”

The 21st International Society of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) meeting was held in São Paulo, Brazil from 23 to 26 October 2016. The discourse at this Congress brought global maternal health into the foray among basic science and clinical research. In concordance with the United Nations sustainable development goals which warrant an integrated view to health with investments in adolescence and childhood, the research at Congress focussed on a 'life course' approach to maternal health -examining intergenerational effects of maternal obesity and hypertension on the behavioral and physical developments of infants. Bringing in research from the Global South highlighted inequities in treatment and management of women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, in addition to the challenges in adoption of recommendations generated in Global North. The evidence shared can serve as platform for further discourse on global maternal health and in generating accountability to close the 'evidence to policy' gap. KeywordsGlobal health, maternal mortality, ISSHP The 21st International Society of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) meeting was held in Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil from 23 to 26 October 2016. The meeting brought together 350 participants from 10 countries. It was fitting for this community of clinician scientists, basic science researchers, allied maternal health professionals, advocacy groups, and governmental organizations to meet in Brazil. Here, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 30-100/100,000 live births remains above that in highincome countries (530/100,000 live births), and hypertension remains a leading cause, in addition to both indirect and late causes of maternal death, that are of additional interest to obstetric medicine.1 Also, this was the ISSHP's first World Congress since the global community took stock of the Millennium Development Goal 5A, to reduce maternal mortality by 75% from 1990 levels, by 2015. Although the goal was not achieved in full, substantial reduction in MMR was achieved -a 45% reduction worldwide. The sustainable development goalsStating only one explicit goal for health among its 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), the United Nations has confirmed that improvements in health cannot be achieved in isolation. Rather, there is an inextricable link between improvements in health and wellbeing and each of the other 16 aspirational SDGs, such as those targeting poverty, hunger, and gender equality.2 This need for integrated action was addressed in the opening ceremony by Peter von Dadelszen, who highlighted that global burden of maternal health reflected inequity in human rights and showcased how steps towards promoting gender equity, reproductive health rights, nutrition and education of girls can avert maternal deaths and illness among vulnerable populations.This message of inequity was re-iterated in the opening ceremony by Shuchita Mundle, who presented the 'ecology of eclampsia' for women in Maharashtra, India. Dr. Mundle emphasized that the poor awareness of eclampsia...
