Systemic racism affects maternity care for black women in England, say MPs

A recent report by a group of MPs highlights the ongoing issue of systemic racism in maternity care for black women in England. The committee found that these women's concerns are often dismissed due to bias and stereotypes, leading to significantly poorer health outcomes. This matters because it underscores the urgent need for reforms in healthcare practices and policies to ensure equitable treatment for all women, regardless of their race.
