PRE-EMPT (PRE-eclampsia & Eclampsia Monitoring, Prevention & Treatment) project

The aim of the PRE-EMPT (PRE-eclampsia & Eclampsia Monitoring, Prevention & Treatment) project is to develop, test and introduce new knowledge that will reduce the unacceptable maternal, perinatal, family, societal, and global impacts of pre-eclampsia, and the other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The University of British Columbia and King’s College London with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation leads the PRE-EMPT  initiative (PI: Peter von Dadelszen). Contributing to this initiative are content, methodological, and advocacy experts from low, middle and high income countries who participate in the Academic Steering Committee – an unprecedented coalition of expertise for pre-eclampsia research.
