What We Want To Achive
The Problem
Black women in the United States are 3 to 5 times more likely to die from pregnancy or postpartum issues than white women.
The estimated national maternal mortality rate in the United States is about 17 per 100,000 live births––but it is about 43 per 100,000 live births for Black women.
Main Causes
- A biased health care system
- Implicit bias in health care providers
- Insufficient health care access
- Lack of comprehensive data around how moms are dying and why
OTHER FINDINGS
- Maternal mortality not only has to do with pregnancy itself but with how it's handled.
- Black and other minority women often have to advocate for themselves to get adequate care, no matter how educated or informed they are.
- According to the CDC, about 60% of maternal deaths are preventable.
- The U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world where maternal mortality is rising.
- Each year, approximately 700 American women die during pregnancy, childbirth or subsequent complications.
