Improved Health Data Mapping for Mothers

This new law requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to include maternal health data in its broadband coverage maps. This aims to help identify areas where internet access may impact healthcare for pregnant and postpartum women, potentially improving access to medical services.
Key points
The FCC must incorporate data on maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity into its broadband health maps.
This data will cover up to one year postpartum, helping to better understand mothers' health needs.
The FCC will consult with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on which data to include.
