A resolution designating January 23, 2024, as "Maternal Health Awareness Day".

SRES 530 is a Senate resolution designating January 23, 2024, as "Maternal Health Awareness Day" to highlight maternal health challenges in the U.S., including high mortality rates and racial disparities. It encourages federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as healthcare providers, to take action on improving maternal health outcomes and reducing inequities. The resolution references statistics showing Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native individuals face significantly higher risks of maternal death and that rural communities often lack access to obstetric care, but it does not create new laws or funding.
