Preventing Maternal Mortality: Supporting Maternal Mortality Review Committees

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of funds to support agencies and organizations that coordinate and manage MMRCs to identify and characterize pregnancy-related deaths for preventability, abstract clinical/non-clinical data into a standard data system, conduct informant interviews to inform individual case review, and enter information into a standard data system within 2 years of death. In addition, funds may be available to build operationalization capacity of MMRC recommendations that reach specific populations with documented maternal health disparities.
