Maternal Health

On this episode of Risk Factors I talk with Dr. Katherine Bianco about maternal mortality, including the disparities we see here in the United States. We also discuss simulation training for obstetric emergencies in Guatemala, and the importance of providing medical care in a patient's preferred language. To learn more about GOMOMS, check out their website: https://www.gomomsgogyns.com/. During the episode Dr. Bianco mentions the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (https://www.cmqcc.org/) and I reference this report titled Toward the Abolition of Biological Race in Medicine: https://belonging.berkeley.edu/toward-abolition-biological-race-medicine-8
