Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act
To authorize appropriations for data collection, surveillance, and research on maternal health outcomes during public health emergencies, and for other purposes.
This bill, known as the Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act, proposes to provide funding for collecting data, monitoring, and researching maternal health outcomes during public health emergencies. The bill aims to ensure that we have accurate information about how such emergencies affect pregnant women and new mothers, which can help improve healthcare responses and outcomes.
The bill would primarily affect healthcare providers, public health officials, and researchers involved in maternal health. It would also benefit pregnant women and new mothers by potentially leading to better care and outcomes during public health emergencies.
As of May 14, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, and further steps will be taken to review and potentially advance the bill.
