Black patients and OB-GYN
Black OB-GYNs: prenatal, birth, gynecology, and reproductive care. Black women face 3 times higher maternal mortality, and concordance and advocacy save lives.
Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women in the United States (CDC, 2023). The disparity exists across income and education levels and is largely driven by systemic bias in clinical care, including delayed recognition of warning signs, dismissed pain, and undertreated hypertension. A landmark study in PNAS (Greenwood et al., 2020) found Black newborns are half as likely to die when cared for by Black physicians. Black OB-GYNs provide the full scope: prenatal and birth care, gynecologic surgery, contraception, fibroid management, menopause.
