Fivefold higher maternal mortality rate amongst black women needs urgent action
The lack of clinical guidelines on this matter and the exceedingly apparent lack of awareness of this issue despite the prevalence of black womens’ high mortality rate requires urgent action.
The chance of death is 1 in 2,500 for black women according to the UK Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths. But the rate was five times smaller for white women between 2014 and 2016.
These stark figures have not triggered response or action from policy makers vis a vis clinical risk and morbidity. Parliamentary intervention is required to review the scope of understanding the correlation of race and maternal deaths so that this informs clinical guidelines in all NHS Trusts
