Summary

This study tests a home blood pressure monitoring program for 1,200 women in Nigeria who had high blood pressure during pregnancy. The program includes patient education, home BP monitors, follow-up care, and free medication if needed. Researchers want to see if this approach leads to better blood pressure control six weeks after delivery, potentially reducing future heart problems.
