Black maternal health disparities are the unequal pregnancy and birth outcomes experienced by Black women compared to other racial groups.
These disparities reflect systemic inequities in healthcare access, quality of care, and broader social conditions that influence health.
Black women are 3–4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women.
