§ 13-1202. Legislative findings
Currentness
The General Assembly finds that:
(1) Maternal deaths are a serious public health concern and have a tremendous family and societal impact;
(2) Maternal deaths are significantly underestimated and inadequately documented, preventing efforts to identify and reduce or eliminate the causes of death;
(3) No processes exist in the State for the confidential identification, investigation, or dissemination of findings regarding maternal deaths; and
(4) There is a need to establish a Maternal Mortality Review Program to review maternal deaths and to develop strategies for the prevention of maternal deaths.
