This Black Maternal Health Awareness Week, I want to thank Fivexmore_ and all those raising awareness of the terrifyingly high rate of Black women dying in pregnancy in the UK.

These levels have been too high for too long and we must set targets to close this gap now.

Black women are STILL 4 times likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth and 6 weeks after in the UK (MBRRACE 2023).

We have come together with a host of Black led organisations, for a weeklong campaign to raise awareness about the disparities in maternal outcomes.
