New Bill Seeks To Improve Maternal Health Worldwide
A new bill by Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) aims to improve maternal and infant health in developing countries by expanding examining barriers and improving access to prenatal and post-partum care, education, family planning, and diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as HIV/AIDS. The bill also calls for research into how certain medicines affect pregnant women and infants.
