Action on Pre-eclampsia’s (APEC) key aims are to raise public and professional awareness of pre-eclampsia, improve care, and ease or prevent physical and emotional suffering caused by the disease.
We do this by providing information and support to members of the public who are affected by pre-eclampsia and support research into finding a cure.
