Designate World Doula Day
This bill proposes designating March 29 as "World Doula Day" to recognize the contributions of doulas, who provide emotional and physical support to individuals during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. The legislation does not create new funding, change laws, or mandate any specific actions; its primary effect is symbolic. By establishing this annual observance, the bill aims to raise public awareness about the role of doulas within the healthcare system.
