there is a lot of prejudice in some areas against minorities. Some docs dislike poor patients, and if you are black, you see this as racism.
Poor people don't always recognize the need for prenatal care and tend to miss appointments and not follow doctor's orders.
there is also the problem of how the statistics are collected. In the US, any death near the time of delivery is included, even accidents etv.
“In the US, any death near the time of delivery is included, even accidents etc.”
Well, that doesn’t help matters any if you’re trying to get REAL data.
Thanks for the info.
