7
Progress on improving Black maternal health remains too slow despite multiple initiatives.

While there have been multiple initiatives aimed at improving Black maternal health, progress remains too slow. We welcome the announcement of a rapid national investigation into maternity and neonatal care and the Secretary of State’s commitment to inequality being an integral part of its work.
