Reducing Maternal Mortality!
“According to the CDC 2023 - 4 in 5 pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable.”
More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths were preventable, according to 2017-2019 data from Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs)
Among pregnancy-related deaths with timing information, 22% of deaths occurred during pregnancy, 25% occurred on the day of delivery or within 7 days after, and 53% occurred between 7 days to 1 year after pregnancy.
