Federal health officials would share ways to prevent maternal deaths

Federal health officials would share practices for preventing deaths and health problems related to pregnancy. Recipients would include hospitals, state professional groups, and groups working together to improve care around childbirth. CDC would consult with the Health Resources and Services Administration. The guidance would reflect practices identified through other relevant federal maternal health programs. The sharing requirement would apply at least once each federal fiscal year.

The funding provision would specify $100 million per year. The amount applies to the maternal death prevention law being amended. The stated funding level does not establish that the money has been provided. The amount would apply to each fiscal year from 2025 through 2029, including both years.
