Partnering with minoritised women and birthing people to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes: a Darzi journey (January 2023)

Summary

Women and birthing people from black, Asian, or mixed ethnic backgrounds are significantly more likely to experience poor outcomes during their maternity journey.

This is the first in a series of blogs published by the Health Innovation Network, reflecting on the learnings and experiences from her Fellowship.
