Black Maternal Health In Crisis
27 days ago
9.81K
Maternal death rates among Black women have more than doubled in the last 20 years.
The black maternal health crisis is characterized by disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women compared to their White counterparts, regardless of income, education level, or access to healthcare. And, more broadly, the chronic disease epidemic impacts Black communities more than any groups of Americans.
Addressing this crisis isn’t just a matter of life and death. It demands we address deep-rooted racial disparities and work toward a more equitable healthcare system.
We can. And we must.
