Addressing the maternal health crisis, Part I

With the U.S. having the highest maternal mortality and morbidity rates among developed countries, the AMA continues to sound the alarm to policymakers that a multi-faceted approach is needed, one which includes addressing the leading causes of preventable maternal deaths and investing in the physician workforce to improve access to maternity care. Dr. Willie Underwood III, Urologist and immediate past chair of the board of trustees, leads this panel discussion with experts Maryanne C. Bombaugh, MD, MBA, MSc, member of the AMA Council on Legislation, Michael Rakotz, MD, vice president of Health Outcomes at the AMA, and AMA advocacy health equity director Jennifer Brown, JD.    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📺 Follow the AMA on YouTube: @americanmedicalassociation  🎥 Watch #AMAUpdate for the latest in health care news for physicians: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update 📧 Subscribe to AMA Morning Rounds newsletter, with the news you need every morning delivered to your inbox: https://bit.ly/AMA-MorningRounds 🎧 Listen to our latest podcast episodes now: https://bit.ly/AMA_Podcasts 📲 Download AMA Connect for news, podcasts, video updates and learning in one place: https://apple.co/3URzNES
