Pre-Eclampsia is one of the commonest and most dangerous complications of pregnancy. No one knows the cause, and many women are not informed about it. NZ APEC has been set up to:

Educate, inform and advise the public and health professionals about the prevalence, nature and risks of pre-eclampsia.

To campaign for greater public awareness of the disease and for action to improve methods of detection and treatment.

To provide support for women who have suffered pre-eclampsia, and their families.

To promote research into the causes of the disease and appropriate screening techniques and treatment methods.
