  • Among those aware, only 890 recognized that these disorders could be prevented through good antenatal care and other methods.
  • This community-based cross-sectional study involving 2500 women highlights the impact of education on awareness levels.
  • Findings emphasize the need for improved health systems to educate women on complications and preventive measures regarding hypertensive disorders.
