maternity care reform

Maternity care reform aims to improve the healthcare experience for pregnant people and new mothers by making services safer, more equitable, and more supportive. This includes expanding access to quality prenatal and postpartum care, addressing disparities that affect marginalized groups, and promoting practices that prioritize both physical and mental health. Reforms also focus on reducing unnecessary medical interventions and ensuring healthcare providers follow evidence-based guidelines. The goal is to enhance overall outcomes, support informed choices, and create a more respectful, patient-centered system for all during pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery.
