05 May 2023 LIVE WEBINAR – from 14.00 to 15.30 CEST
Successful hGH administration can transform the life of a child who was destined to live with significant short stature into an adolescent facing adulthood confidently with height within the normal range.

Understanding the causes and psychopathology of poor adherence is a major component of hGH management, and clinician and care team input and support to address this issue is crucial to treatment success.
