Complication readiness and emergency planning

As noted earlier, complication readiness is the process of anticipating the actions needed in case of an emergency and making an emergency plan. Pregnancy-related disorders such as high blood pressure and bleeding or other illnesses can occur anytime between the antenatal check- up visits and delivery. If such conditions happen at any stage, you should refer the woman immediately to the next higher health facility. Also, you need to counsel her repeatedly to report to you or to seek other medical care quickly in case she observes any of the danger symptoms.
