Black Maternal Health Week 2025 aims to raise awareness and address the racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. Observed annually in the United States, the week-long event focuses on improving the health and well-being of black mothers and their babies.
Black women face significantly higher risks of pregnancy-related complications and death compared to white women. Factors contributing to these disparities include systemic racism, lack of access to quality healthcare, and implicit bias among healthcare providers. Black Maternal Health Week 2025 seeks to address these issues through education, advocacy, and community engagement.
