Emerging priorities in reproductive, maternal, and newborn health

The Population Council’s Ending Eclampsia project seeks to expand access to proven, underutilized interventions and commodities for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia (PE/E) and to strengthen global partnerships. Ending Eclampsia is working in Nigeria and Bangladesh to assess the level of program activities, gaps, and challenges around prevention and treatment of PE/E and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). The project will build upon this landscape analysis to expand services to detect and manage PE/E, develop and support implementation of strategic plans for replicating the intervention package, and increase global PE/E evidence shared through knowledge and learning platforms. Ending Eclampsia will contribute to the goal of reducing maternal morbidity and mortality caused by PE/E with the objective of increasing appropriate prevention and treatment of severe PE/E in USAID-priority countries. This fact sheet includes facts about PE/E, Ending Eclampsia’s project development hypothesis, program implementation levels, landscape analysis, and impact
