The Symposium

The APEC Ghana Scientific Symposium is an annual gathering of scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers involved in the care of pregnant women. The goal of the symposium is to bring together experts in the field of hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) from Ghana, the sub-region, and internationally to share ideas and new research, and engage in a discourse on the way forward in terms of the management of HDP to minimize adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Theme 

The theme for each symposium is determined by the current priorities in national and global maternal and newborn health discourse.  Hence, the theme for the 2025 symposium is : 

  • "From Voices to Action : Bridging the Gap Between HDP Research, Policy and Clinical Practice to Improve Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes"

This theme is inspired by the top ten (10) topics for future HDP research in Ghana identified by patients and their caregivers in 2024 during our priority setting project using the JLA Method for PSPs  and Research for Health Justice Ethical Toolkit.

This year's Symposium Objectives are to:

  • Increase knowledge and skills among healthcare providers regarding HDP management.

  • Improve collaboration and communication among healthcare professionals in the field.

  • Establish of a sustainable network for ongoing support and education on maternal & newborn health issues.

  • Publish & circulate symposium summary insights within 4-8 weeks post-event.
