    Hypertension and Pregnancy in Uganda: Maternal Health Implications and Treatment Approaches
    (Eurasian Experiment Journal of Public Health (EEJPH), 2025) Bizimana Rukundo T.
    Kampala International University Hypertension in pregnancy (HDP) is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, with significant implications for public health in Uganda. This review explores the burden of HDP, its epidemiology, risk factors, and health implications for both mothers and infants in Uganda. It addresses the clinical challenges and the impact of limited healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, which impede the early detection and management of HDP. The review also evaluates the diagnostic practices, treatment approaches, and management strategies currently in place, as well as the barriers to effective care. Furthermore, the role of cultural beliefs and socioeconomic factors in influencing healthcare-seeking behaviors is discussed. By identifying key gaps in the healthcare system and current policies, the review provides recommendations for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and management of hypertension in pregnancy. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, enhancing overall health outcomes in Uganda.
