The @mbrrace report on the impact of #COVID19 on maternal deaths was released today:

"It was evident that changes to service provision as a

...Receipt of the specialist care they needed may have prevented their deaths."

We must protect the provision of high-quality specialist perinatal mental health care, now more than ever. #EveryonesBusiness
Other significant contributors to maternal mortality at the moment are redeployment of obstetric staff to non-maternity work and lack of safeguarding for women suffering domestic violence. This pandemic is not going away and we have to find a way to do better.
