What this trial studies

This interventional study aims to develop and evaluate a Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) Management package tailored for pregnant women in Nigeria. It focuses on implementing a postpartum remote blood pressure monitoring program, patient education, a standardized follow-up protocol, and providing subsidized antihypertensive medications. The study will assess the feasibility, fidelity, acceptability, and effectiveness of these interventions across four health institutions in Abuja and Kano. The primary goal is to determine if this contextualized approach leads to better blood pressure control among patients with HDP.
