Developing countries continue to experience comparatively higher rates of maternal and perinatal deaths from complicated pregnancies due to hypertension as a result of poor utilization of prenatal and obstetric care services as well as late presentation to specialized units for emergency care.

In Ecuador, preeclampsia and eclampsia are the leading causes of maternal death from 2006 to 2014, and represent 27.53% of all maternal deaths (457 of 1660 occurred in that period).
