At the FIGO World Congress, 108 colleagues from across Africa and South Asia took a few minutes to visit our stand and tell us what they need most from PrAKI guidance. The results are clear and they are actionable.
The immediate priority: hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia.
Nearly half of respondents (48%) said HDP should be the first target for guideline change, with preeclampsia close behind at 27%. These are the conditions maternity teams face every day and the ones most likely to cause PrAKI.
Implementation energy clusters around three areas.
When asked where research and implementation effort should focus, respondents made 137 selections across categories. Essential medicines, diagnostics and technology, and service delivery came out almost equal, each chosen by roughly a quarter of respondents.
The readiness to act is high.
84% of respondents said they would co-develop or pilot tools with us. 80% said they would host a workshop. This is not a community waiting to be convinced, it is a community ready to move.
The blockers are predictable and solvable.
Finance, workforce training, diagnostics and pathway gaps dominate. Respondents also flagged poor postpartum follow-up, late presentation and lack of community engagement as recurring challenges.
We heard you. Everything you told us shapes what we build next.
