In this new comprehensive Action Pan, HHS provides a roadmap for addressing risk factors before and during pregnancy, improving the quality of and access to maternity and postpartum care, and supporting a research agenda to fill gaps in current evidence. The Action Plan outlines three specific targets to help the nation improve maternal mortality outcomes by 2025: * Reduce the maternal mortality rate by 50% * Reduce the low-risk cesarean delivery rate by 25% * Achieve blood pressure control in 80% of women of reproductive age with hypertension The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Improve Maternal Health examines the current state of maternal mortality and morbidity, including the stark racial and ethnic, geographic, and age disparities across America. Black, American Indian and Alaska Native women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy related complications than white, Hispanic and Asian Pacific Islander women. The Surgeon General, senior HHS leaders, and partners will hold a Stakeholder Webinar this afternoon to discuss the efforts focused on maternal health, and announce a Public-Private Partnership to address disparities in maternal health outcomes. When: Thursday, December 3rd, from 3:00 – 4:00 PM EST.
