On December 3, HHS released an important HHS Action Plan and announced a partnership to reduce maternal deaths and disparities that put women at risk prior to, during, and following pregnancy.
The HHS Action Plan provides a roadmap for addressing risk factors, 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:
1. Reduce the maternal mortality rate by 50% by 2025
2. Reduce the low-risk cesarean delivery rate by 25% by 2025
3. Achieve blood pressure control in 80% of women of reproductive age with hypertension by 2025
The U.S. Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams issued a complementary Call to Action to Improve Maternal Health outlining the critical roles everyone can play to improve maternal health.
