According to www.cdc.gov. Black women in the United States face significant maternal health disparities, being approximately 3.5 times more likely to die from pregnacy-related causes than White women. Alarmingly, over 80% of maternal deaths in the U.S. are considered preventable. Prematurity and low birth weight ( leading causes of infant death ) occur at significantly higher rates among Black mothers, further contributing to poor outcomes. Chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are also more prevalent among Black women, increasing the risks associated with pregnacy. Additionally, limited access to care in rural areas and maternity care deserts, particularly in the South, affects people of all races but disproportionately worsens outcomes for Black women.
