U.S. bishops urge Congress to address the high maternal mortality rate in the U.S. compared to other developed nations.
U.S. bishops urge Congress to address the "maternal health crisis" in the US, highlighting a high maternal mortality rate compared to other developed nations. Data shows the U.S. maternal death ratio per 100,000 births as more than double that of countries like France and Greece, and nearly triple that of Switzerland. The U.S. bishops' letter to Congress cites data showing a growth in the maternal mortality rate over the past two decades.
