Complications arising from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are among the leading causes of severe maternal morbidity and mortality, both nationally and in Georgia. The Severe Hypertension initiative launched in June 2019 with 41 birthing hospitals currently participating. This initiative focuses on standardizing care for pregnant and postpartum women with severe hypertension to ensure timely and appropriate treatment, and follows the AIM Severe Hypertension Patient Safety Bundle.
