Mothers and Newborns Success Act

The Mothers and Newborns Success Act authorizes multiple federal grant programs aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality rates and addressing racial and geographic health disparities in the United States. Key provisions include funding for state-level innovation projects, a pilot program to coordinate postpartum care, and a new national research network established within the National Institutes of Health to study the causes of maternal death. The bill also supports telehealth initiatives to improve access to obstetric care in rural areas and mandates a public awareness campaign focused on recognizing health warning signs and increasing vaccination rates among pregnant women. These efforts are directed at state health departments, tribal organizations, and non-profit entities, with specific funding authorized for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
