Yesterday, @WHO and its partners announced a new global roadmap to tackle hypertensive disorders of #pregnancy, including #preeclampsia. Comanche is honored to have participated as part of the global consortium of health authorities, researchers, clinicians, patient advocacy groups, and industry that created this critical roadmap. It sets the much-needed, global agenda for developing novel treatments, preventions, and diagnostic and process of care improvements worldwide. Together, let's make pregnancy safer for moms and babies globally! Learn more: who.int/news/item/08-10-2026… Thanks to @WHO, @gatesfoundation, #MerckforMothers, and @UNITAID for their leadership!

Happy Father’s Day!  Today, we want to particularly acknowledge preeclampsia’s underappreciated impact on fathers. Preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications can mean watching someone you love face the unexpected while trying to be her calm, her advocate, and her source of strength. To these dads, and to all dads, we see and celebrate you! #Preeclampsia #FathersDay

The first-ever @WHO /HRP Global #Preeclampsia Summit just took place in Kigali. Comanche was there. 150+ stakeholders. 50+ countries. United around the urgent need to prevent, diagnose, and treat preeclampsia at a global scale. The hard work of turning that commitment into action starts now. #pregnancy #maternalhealth #obstetrics #pregnancy

Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and infant mortality worldwide. It affects between 2% and 8% of all pregnancies and is linked to more than 70,000 maternal deaths and approximately 500,000 perinatal deaths each year. This month, for Preeclampsia Awareness Month, Comanche Biopharma is proud to join the global community of researchers, clinicians, and patient advocates working to end #preeclampsia. While significant progress has been made in understanding and diagnosing this disease, no approved treatment yet exists. Comanche is working to change that, developing the first ever therapy targeting a root cause of preeclampsia. Throughout May, we are highlighting the global impact of this disease and the extraordinary people dedicating their careers to addressing it. #maternalhealth #EndMaternalMortality #pregnancy #obstetrics #precisionmedicine

Held annually on April 11-17, Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW) is a week-long campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA) to build awareness, foster activism, and community-building, amplifying the voices, perspectives, and lived experiences of Black mamas and birthing people. Black women have the highest prevalence of #preeclampsia and #eclampsia, experiencing these disorders at rates five times higher than their white counterparts. This BMWH, we help raise awarness of this and other maternal health disparities impacting Black mothers, and the need to address the multifactorial inequalities driving these stark gaps.

As Preeclampsia Awareness Month comes to a close, we extend our gratitude to all the Champions of Change who shared their experiences. From personal stories of survival and healing to the groundbreaking work of advocates and scientists, each contribution brought to light the realities of preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome, and the strength, dedication, and vision it takes to confront them. Thank you for inspiring greater understanding, deeper empathy, and a continued commitment to progress. Comanche Biopharma is dedicated to driving meaningful change in maternal health. We are guided by purpose, grounded in evidence, and committed to those we serve. We hope you’ll follow our journey. comanchebiopharma.com/

On World Preeclampsia Day, we recognize the scientists, clinicians, and advocates working to change the future of maternal health. Science transforms lives, and Dr. Ananth Karumanchi’s discoveries have transformed our understanding of preeclampsia. By identifying sFlt-1 as a root cause, his work enabled the development of diagnostic tools now used around the world and continues to guide efforts to develop effective treatments. We are especially grateful for his insight in shaping our clinical program and for the enduring impact he has made on maternal health.

This session will explore how science is helping to piece together the causes of preeclampsia, how it can be detected earlier, and how clinical research is shaping the future of care. Featuring Maged Costantine and Michelle Silasi, and moderated by EndPreeclampsia founder Kara Boeldt, the program will make complex science more understandable and more meaningful for everyone.

Jennifer is one of Comanche’s trusted patient advisors and a survivor of eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and sepsis. What began as a normal day ended in an emergency delivery, days in the ICU, and a month-long NICU stay for her son Donovan. The experience shaped her decision to focus on advocacy and public health. We’re honored to feature Jennifer’s story as part of our Champions of Change series during Preeclampsia Awareness Month.
