1/So, on Dec 7, 2017 I talked with @nprmontagne & @ByNinaMartin for this very story. Their Lost Mothers series was vanguard and important. We had new data published that aligned with their analysis. https://twitter.com/surgeon_general/status/1334492441555165184
2/ @Surgeon_General released 2 reports today in advance of the public/private partnership he’s launching. Neither report cite my work or important work from Black women scholars or others who have done some of the work to landscape this issue
3/Even more disturbing is midwifery and the model of care provided by them and @BlkMamasMatter alliance isn’t mentioned either. One report is 71 pages and one is 184 pages. None of my work is cited either.
4/You can read both reports here: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/call-to-action-maternal-health.pdf and
