The progress, inequities and additional training models needed in maternal healthcare
Today begins part one of a “Closer Look” series on maternal healthcare.
While maternal health concerns the health of women before and during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period, other aspects are often overlooked.
In Wednesday’s program, host Rose Scott spoke with medical professionals and caretakers about the impact of infertility on mental health and the need for more complementary training and education for future practitioners.
Hear from OB/GYNs, doulas and maternal health experts about what’s working and what barriers persist when it comes to improving maternal health outcomes.
