Tag: Maternity Mortality Review Stakeholder Group

The Maternal Mortality Stakeholder Review Group amendment would mandate that membership of the committee includes women who have nearly died giving birth and family members of women who have died or nearly died giving birth. The amendment also would require that the majority of members consists of people from community organizations that specialize in maternal health. But the deputy director of government affairs at the Maryland Department of Health told the House Public Health and Minority Health Disparities subcommittee on Tuesday that the proposed changes “will make it difficult for us to fill the stakeholder group.”
