Maternal And Infant Care Crisis

Mothers are dying at alarming rates during or shortly after labor. According to the CDC, the black maternal mortality rate is 69.9 deaths per 100 thousand live births. Black women are three times more likely to die than white patients. The U.S. also recently had the largest increase in two decades for infant deaths. Another shocking statistic, the U.S. is rated first in healthcare costs but last in performance. We'll hear heartbreaking stories of families who lost a loved one due to labor complications and a mother who lost her baby boy at just 11 weeks old. These families feel failed by our medical system, which they say is broken. They complain there's a shortage of healthcare staff who are overworked and rush to release patients without proper care. Health experts weigh in on factors impacting the labor and delivery and infant care crisis, as well as how to lessen the risk of SIDS.
