This is Black Maternal Health Week (April 11—17), which brings attention to preventing pregnancy-related deaths and improving maternal health outcomes. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog post on ways NIH is addressing maternal health inequities by leadership of the Implementing a Maternal health and PRegancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) initiative.  We also invite you to review the NIH Maternal Morbidity & Mortality Web Portal and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ resources on Strengthening Maternal Health.
