    Episode 17: Maternal Mortality in 2024 - The Story Continues: Tiffany McKever, Digital Healthcare Strategies
    2024/08/21
    And now it is time to hear from one of the advocates whose work goes on, even when it is no longer news. Tiffany McKever is a digital healthcare strategist, whose work has included researching and developing a Population Health Initiative with a focus on environmental factors related to social determinants of health (SDOH) resulting in significant impacts to healthcare cost access and quality in large urban cities. We turn to her to update us on the state of maternal mortality across the US, as part of our ongoing coverage of this issue (see https://www.fiftyfaceshub.com/category/medicine-and-science/ for other podcasts relating to the topic). In the US, maternal and women’s health more broadly remains at the forefront of political discourse as states diverge in their approach and the US Supreme Court recently overturned Roe v. Wade. While the Covid pandemic laid bare the disparate experiences of different communities relating to social determinants of health, ongoing news relating to maternal mortality and injury rates that are not evenly spread in the community indicate that this is clearly an issue that is no closer to resolution. Our conversation starts with some definitions, and updates us on the current state of maternal mortality statistics in the US. We dive in to possible causes as well as solutions that are likely to contribute to alleviating the problem, in particular some spending earmarked by the Biden administration to address women’s health in particular. This is a conversation that sadly continues to run, with little obvious resolution. Watch this space for ongoing coverage of this subject.

  • Episode 16: Maternal Mortality: A Modern Crisis: Part 3 - looking around the world to global solutions

    Episode 16: Maternal Mortality: A Modern Crisis: Part 3 - looking around the world to global solutions
    2024/01/05
    In the US, every 12 hours a woman dies due to complications resulting from pregnancy. Additionally, 2 babies die each day. According to data from the national center for health statistics the maternal mortality rate for 2021 was 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 23.8 in 2020 and 20.1 in 2019 In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black women was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, 2.6 times the rate for non-Hispanic White women (26.6) Rates for Black women were significantly higher than rates for White and Hispanic women. The increases from 2020 to 2021 for all race and Hispanic-origin groups were significant. In 2020 the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for a woman to give birth. The first part of this series explored the nature of the problem - hearing from Maneesha Ghiya, the founder of FemHealth Ventures about her own birth experience that prompted a career-long devotion to women's health issues, as well as Yele Aluko, EY Americas Chief Medical Officer, director of the EY Center for Health Equity, Adonica Shaw, CEO and Founder of My Wing Women, an online community and resource center for women relating to reproductive and other health issues. Maura Rosenfeld, founder of digital health innovator - MindUp, provides her insights on the innovations and technology that can move the needle in alleviating this problem. Part two built upon this to explore solutions to the problem, returning to our discussion with Yele Aluko to discuss some of the investments in alleviating inequity in the US medical landscape, and where disparities persist. Adonica Shaw then details the importance of community, shared experience, resources and education - all of which she is amplifying through My Wing Women. In this part three we look around the world to compare the nature of the problem - hearing from Yele Aluko about his experience in Africa, while Noa Hirsch, an experienced health care director, nurse and business based in Israel shares not only her insights from the ground and from other kinds of disparities on the ground in a much more densely populated country as well as from technology solutions that are in development to chip away at persistent problems in this domain.
