  • High Blood Pressure Workshop

    High blood pressure, or hypertension, is known as the “silent killer” because it often has no symptoms — but it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. During pregnancy and postpartum, high blood pressure can increase the risk of preeclampsia and other complications, making awareness and prevention essential for mothers and babies.

  • Taller sobre presión arterial alta

    La presión arterial alta, o hipertensión, es conocida como el “asesino silencioso” porque a menudo no presenta síntomas, pero puede causar serios problemas de salud si no se trata a tiempo. Durante el embarazo y el posparto, la presión alta puede aumentar el riesgo de preeclampsia y otras complicaciones, por lo que la concienciación y la prevención son esenciales para la salud de las madres y los bebés.
