Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is not self-limiting, and its complications can last a lifetime for mothers and their children. Until there is recognition of this fact and comprehensive, universal, effective treatment for all HG patients, every level of society will continue to face the costs of HG.
Doctors and nurses do not get specialized training on HG. Our expert clinical team is working on an education program for health professionals to ensure you get the care you need. We need a minimum of $35,000 to complete this program. There is one US state and one medical society interested in using this program, but it requires funds for completion. Please consider a gift.
