Web to improve pre-eclampsia care

Health - Cath Harris | 08 Dec 10. Problems related to pregnancy claim the lives of hundreds of thousands of women every year. Almost all of these deaths are in developing countries - the countries least able to provide effective medical care. Pre-eclampsia is a serious problem of pregnancy and causes the deaths of more than 60,000 women annually, and many of their babies. There is huge potential to reduce these fatalities in developing nations. The ambition of Dr Stephen Kennedy, head of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, is to help achieve this by educating health professionals globally on all aspects of maternal health. His vision is being backed by The John D & Catherine T MacArthur Foundation , which is funding the development of web-based materials to improve pre-eclampsia care.
