Why are these communities facing higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth? We uncover how adulteration and misbranding of healthcare products, like prenatal vitamins, contribute to this crisis. Plus, we dive into the National CLAS Standards and how they can help ensure safer, culturally competent maternal healthcare. From historical tragedies to modern-day risks, we break down the policies, systemic biases, and solutions needed for a more equitable healthcare system. Tune in and join the conversation!
