Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are important contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Yet, data on their prevalence and related outcomes in low-income countries are currently lacking. Additionally, screening and treatment protocols adapted for resource-limited settings are urgently required. This collaborative research initiative on the screening and management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes was conducted in Saint-Nicolas Hospital in Saint-Marc, Haiti. The report discusses methods used to overcome several local challenges to implementation of care for NCDs. It also describes how collaborative research initiatives are efficient strategies to innovate and build research capacity for NCD care delivery during pregnancy in low-income countries.
非传染性疾病是全球孕产妇发病和死亡的重要原因。然而，目前低收入国家缺乏关于这些疾病的患病率及相关结果的数据。此外，迫切需要适用于资源有限环境的筛查和治疗方案。这项关于妊娠高血压疾病和妊娠期糖尿病筛查与管理的合作研究倡议是在海地圣马克的圣尼古拉斯医院开展的。该报告讨论了为克服当地在实施非传染性疾病护理方面的若干挑战而采用的方法。它还描述了合作研究倡议如何成为在低收入国家创新和建设妊娠期非传染性疾病护理研究能力的有效策略。
