<![CDATA[Abstract: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in East Lombok Regency. In 2023, 2,689 cases of preeclampsia were recorded among 108,035 pregnant women. Limited competence of midwives in early detection, midwifery care, and preventive strategies remains a major challenge. This community service program aimed to improve midwives’ knowledge and skills through a workshop consisting of seminars and case-based learning (CBL). The activity was conducted on August 25, 2025, at the East Lombok District Health Office Hall, involving 35 midwives from 35 primary health centers (34 respondents were analyzed as one participant did not complete the pre- and post-tests). The workshop covered preeclampsia screening, midwifery care, MgSO₄ administration, and the use of local natural resources as preventive strategies. Evaluation using pre- and post-tests showed a significant increase in the mean score from 78.23 to 94.85, with an average improvement of 16.62 points. Notably, 44.1% of participants achieved a perfect score of 100. These findings confirm that interactive and practical workshop approaches effectively enhance midwives’ competencies. Therefore, this program contributes to strengthening primary health care services and supporting maternal mortality reduction efforts in East Lombok.
