2019-2020 Maternal Mortality Review Committee Annual Report
The establishment of the District of Columbia’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee (DC MMRC) in 2018 presented the unique opportunity to address systemic factors impacting maternal mortality by evaluating services, care delivery, and referrals provided to birthing persons who died during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 365 days of the end of a pregnancy. Such barriers – including racism, discrimination, and bias - adversely affect pregnancy-related health outcomes.
