Research is the key to progress. Over 1/3 of states aren’t studying maternal deaths. Undertaking these studies could make a huge difference to families in America - including those involved in the 50,000 potentially preventable near-maternal deaths each year. #MaternalJustice
Have also been heartened to hear of #MaternalJustice collaborations going on across country. In my home state of MA leading doctors, hospitals, patients, advocates and public officials come together to dive into the issue and force progress.
Finally - from providers to policymakers - listen to mothers. Childbirth is a feat impossible to imagine for those of us who do not personally experience it. Even for those of us who have held a loved ones hand thru it. Listen to mothers. #MaternalJustice.
