Detection and multidisciplinary care before, during, and after pregnancy is essential. Rheumatic heart disease, a neglected CVD primarily affecting women and children, increases risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy.

It is frequently unclear where responsibility of care lies postpartum, and crucial opportunities to promote health and reduce future risk may be missed.<\/p>\n<p>Standardized, comprehensive CVD care in pregnancy is crucial for reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. While global guidelines exist, there is need to address gaps in availability, access, and contextual relevance of policies in LMICs in particular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a statement led by NCD Alliance and the World Heart Federation at the 77 World Health Assembly on Agenda item 11.7 We thank the WHO for the report, highlighting gaps to achieving SDG targets for reducing maternal and child mortality.
