Over the past two decades, global maternal mortality declined while maternal mortality is on the rise in the United States, and it disproportionately affects black women. In 2020, the maternal mortality rate for Black women was 2.9 times the rate for White women (CDC).
Dr. Kristin Oates a Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and Partner at Atlanta Gynecology and Obstetrics, Dr. Kanika A. Harris, Ph.D., MPH, the Director, Maternal and Child Health at The Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) and Linda Goler Blount, MPH; President & CEO BWHI (the first nonprofit organization created by Black women to help protect and advance the health and wellness of Black women and girls), discuss why they think the racial maternal health disparities exist in the USA, what we should know about maternal health and potential solutions to advance health equity. As Black mothers, they also share how these factors affect them and their families.
