  • Christy Turlington Burns Hopeful for Change in U.S. Maternal Health
    CANADIAN PRESS, MAY 14, 2011 Christy Turlington Burns hopeful for change in U.S. maternal health TORONTO — Former supermodel Christy Turlington Burns says statistics on maternal mortality in the U.S. are "quite shocking," but she's hopeful new legislation will improve the situation. Turlington Burns has become an advocate for better global maternal health care in recent years, after a complication with the delivery of her first child prompted her to explore the cause and make the documentary "No Woman, No Cry". The film follows at-risk pregnant women in several parts of the world, including the U.S., where — according to the documentary — two women die each day from a pregnancy-related complication, and one in five women of reproductive age has no health insurance. Turlington Burns, who's also spearheading the Every Mother Counts campaign, says she's hopeful the Maternal Health Accountability Act introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives last month by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan will improve the situation. "That has the potential to, I think, make a big difference," she said Friday in an interview before the Canadian public premiere of the doc, which marks her directorial debut, at Bell Lightbox. "In the United States, it's such an enormous country, as is Canada, and it's very hard to collect data and consolidate data so that people really understand how deaths are happening and why they're happening and really understand what's happening, state-by-state review boards and whatnot. So it has the promise to do that," she said.
