Globally, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are major contributors to maternal and perinatal mortality;
of which the vast majority of deaths occur in less developed countries. In addition, a disproportionate number
of morbidities and mortalities occur due to delayed access to health services. The Community Level Interventions
for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) Trial aims to task-shift to community health workers the identification and emergency
management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia to improve access and timely care. Literature revealed paucity of published
feasibility assessments prior to initiating large-scale community-based interventions. Arguably, well-conducted feasibility
studies can provide valuable information about the potential success of clinical trials prior to implementation.
