Addressing the maternal health crisis, Part I

With the U.S. having the highest maternal mortality and morbidity rates among developed countries, the AMA continues to sound the alarm to policymakers that a multi-faceted approach is needed, one which includes addressing the leading causes of preventable maternal deaths and investing in the physician workforce to improve access to maternity care. Dr. Willie Underwood III, Urologist and immediate past chair of the board of trustees, leads this panel discussion with experts Maryanne C. Bombaugh, MD, MBA, MSc, member of the AMA Council on Legislation, Michael Rakotz, MD, vice president of Health Outcomes at the AMA, and AMA advocacy health equity director Jennifer Brown, JD.     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🩺 The AMA is your powerful ally, focused on addressing the issues important to you, so you can focus on what matters most — patients.
