      The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed country—nearly 700 deaths each year are due to complications from pregnancy or labor, about 60% of which are preventable. But for black Americans, giving birth is especially dangerous. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      Today wraps up the third annual Black Maternal Health Week, which highlights the dangerous disparities that black mothers face. The CDC found that in 2018, the maternal mortality rate among black women was 37.1 per 100,000 live births. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      In March, U.S. Reps. Lauren Underwood, Alma Adams and Sen. Kamala Harris introduced a suite of bills aimed at reducing maternal mortality rates — which includes addressing health care workers’ biases. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      Among the measures: expanding postpartum Medicaid coverage; investing in housing, transportation and nutrition, which partly determine maternal health outcomes; and diversifying the perinatal workforce (physicians, nurses, doulas, midwives). https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      Public health experts don’t have a simple explanation for why black women die at 2.5 times the rate of white women. It’s likely a combination of factors. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      Black women are less likely to have access to quality perinatal care. They are also more susceptible to conditions such as obesity and hypertension. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …

      But researchers also say that the institutional racism in health care is part of the equation. https://mailchi.mp/19thnews/kamala-harris-coronavirus-vice-presidency …
