Description
Reducing Black Maternal Mortality: A Need For Healthcare Restructure
Black women are three times more likely to die during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and in the postpartum period than any other woman in another demographic. Black women are at higher risk of near-miss incidents, also known as medical errors, during their quest for maternal care. The maternal healthcare system must be revamped to stop the mass deaths of black women. In this presentation, new conceptual ideas will be presented on how to reduce the high maternal mortality rate of Black women in the United States.
