In the United States, approximately 900 women die each year during childbirth and postpartum periods due to pregnancy related complications. National and State surveillance reports have deemed that 80% of these deaths are preventable. The maternal morbidity and mortality rates are the highest among industrialized nations worldwide. The current data suggests that this trend is worsening despite significant advancements in healthcare practices and technologies. Pregnant and postpartum women of color experience significant health disparities and poorer health outcomes. Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die in comparison to White women. These disparities are up to 18 times higher in underserved communities. Access to care, implicit bias, and systemic racism are the leading causes of these disparities. This presentation will explore the history of Black maternal health disparities, causes of maternal deaths, and proposed solutions to solving this epidemic.
