maternal health equity

Maternal health equity means ensuring that all pregnant people have fair access to quality healthcare, resources, and support, regardless of their background, income, ethnicity, or where they live. It aims to eliminate disparities that cause some groups to experience higher risks of complications, illness, or death during pregnancy and childbirth. By addressing social, economic, and healthcare barriers, maternal health equity works towards giving everyone an equal chance at healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries, ultimately improving outcomes for mothers and babies across all communities.
