Addressing the risk of disproportionate maternal mortality among black and brown women.
Ebanks C. British Journal of Midwifery 2026;34(10):580-585.
[Black and brown women are three times more likely to die in childbirth or up to 6 weeks postpartum compared to their white counterparts. Several critical factors contribute to this inequality, including racism and a predominantly white population in midwifery and education. The significant lack of diversity in midwifery education, among educators and in the profession as a whole is a catalyst for a lack of culturally focused care.]
