The Future of Maternal and Child Health Care in New Mexico

Supporting the health of women and children during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period remains a top priority for policymakers and health care stakeholders across New Mexico. This panel will discuss the current state of maternal child health in New Mexico, the impact of COVID-19 on health care services for mothers and babies, efforts to reach the uninsured and underinsured who are pregnant or recently pregnant, and solutions to improve the number of healthy babies and healthy births.
