  • Tackling Maternal Health Disparities: a Look at Four Local Organizations with Innovative Approaches
    Tackling Maternal Health Disparities: A Look at Four Local Organizations with Innovative Approaches Maternal health disparities have many causes, but disparate social conditions and a lack of prenatal care or substandard maternal care are often key factors. Community-based maternal care models can help to narrow the disparities in maternal health outcomes by providing expanded prenatal, childbirth and postpartum support that is respectful and culturally relevant to at-risk women. These models may also focus on breastfeeding and parental development. This issue brief highlights four programs from across the country, examines the importance of community-based maternal care models and offers recommendations for supporting and expanding them. Maternal Health Disparities The United States has some of the worst rates of maternal and infant health outcomes among high-income nations, despite spending an estimated $111 billion per year on maternal, prenatal and newborn care.1 For example, Black, American Indian and Alaska Native2 women are more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and are nearly four times more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth than white women.3 Latina, Asian and Pacific Islander women generally have birth outcomes that are similar to those of white women, but some reports show that certain subgroups fare worse than white women.4 National Partnership for Women & Families Tackling Maternal Health Disparities 1 Many of the poor maternal health outcomes that women of color experience are due to systemic barriers that create METHODOLOGY unequal social conditions.

  • The Impact of Covid-19 on Maternal Health and Family Planning in Maldives the Impact of Covid-19 on Maternal Health and Family Planning in Maldives
    THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MATERNAL HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING IN MALDIVES THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MATERNAL HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING IN MALDIVES The recent onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has threatened to become one of the most challenging tests faced by humanity in modern history, with governments facing multifaceted health and socio-economic challenges. Impacts can range from affecting livelihoods, increasing morbidity and mortality, overwhelming health systems, and triggering lasting geopolitical change. Maldives is currently implementing measures like lockdowns and travel bans. The consequential disruption of services on an already overstretched health system and the deviation of resources from essential sexual and reproductive humanitarian crises such as the 2004 Tsunami. The high health (SRH) services are expected to increase the risk of population density in Male’ compounds the likely social and maternal and child morbidity and mortality, as shown in past health impacts of COVID-19. 2 Compounded with the above factors, there could be an impact on the ability of women and couples to access family planning methods during this time. Some of the drivers of a potentially reduced access to contraceptive services include: ● Strict lockdown measures, disruption of continuity of essential SRH services including family planning, and limited access to such services; ● Geographical distribution of the country and scattered population on small islands may contribute to inaccessibility of proper maternal health services and facilities, and this is amplified during the current crisis; ● Contraceptive stocks are likely to run out and replenishing stocks is difficult because of restrictions of movement and limited service availability.
