Maternal Mortality
The death of a woman during pregnancy, at delivery, or soon after delivery is a tragedy for her family and for society as a whole.
The Hear Her campaign supports CDC’s efforts to prevent pregnancy-related deaths by sharing potentially life-saving messages about urgent warning signs.
The Enhancing Reviews and Surveillance to Eliminate Maternal Mortality (ERASE MM) Program supports agencies and organizations that coordinate and manage Maternal Mortality Review Committees.
