1st Western Pacific Regional Preconception Health Network Conference: “Exploring Challenges, Opportunities, and Partnerships to Advance Preconception Health and Care in the Western Pacific”

Optimising health for conception can mitigate high risk pregnancies, prevent unplanned pregnancy and improve reproductive and pregnancy outcomes. 

There has been a lack of focus on preconception health in the Western Pacific region despite poor maternal and neonatal health outcomes. 

The Western Pacific Regional Preconception Health Network was established to build multi-disciplinary collaborations regionally, and plan for improving preconception, pregnancy and reproductive outcomes for all individuals in the Western Pacific Region.

1. HiPPP EMCR
Presented by the Health in Preconception, Pregnancy and Postpartum Early and Mid-career Researcher Collective (HiPPP EMC-R), the HiPPP workshop aims to provide early and mid-career researchers and professionals within 15 years of their terminal degree with resources and skills to build their capacity in academia with a view to developing their own strong national and international networks.

2. Monitoring PCH Indicators- Use of screening tools and Big Data
This workshop will discuss the benefits of using large datasets from which preconception core indicators can be obtained. We will explore whether participants can identify priority indicators across all Western Pacific countries that can be used to establish a regional set of indicators to monitor progress on preconception health programs.”
