Maternal Care Inequities: A Pressing Issue

Maternal care inequities are a nationwide concern that affect countless women and their families. These disparities refer to differences in access to quality healthcare, support, and resources during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Unfortunately, these inequities often result in adverse health outcomes for women, particularly for women of color and those from underserved communities.

Why This Matters

Maternal care inequities are a significant issue that can have life-altering consequences for women and their babies. It's crucial to address these disparities to ensure that all women have equal access to the care and support they need during pregnancy and childbirth. By doing so, we can improve maternal and infant health outcomes and save lives.
