Key points
Increased financial support for maternal mortality review committees to include diverse members with personal experiences of maternal health issues.
Improved data collection on maternal health, including severe complications and mental health-related deaths, to identify problems and create effective solutions.
Conducting studies on maternal health among American Indian and Alaska Native individuals to understand their unique needs and improve healthcare in these communities.
Providing grants to minority-serving institutions to research maternal health challenges in minority groups and develop tailored solutions.
