The figure – 87% – is equally shocking and heartbreaking.
Of the 63 new Indiana mothers who died in 2018, 87% of their deaths were preventable. That means 55 Hoosier families were left grieving instead of celebrating milestones such as first steps or words.
The sobering statistics are included in a landmark report published this month by the state s Maternal Mortality Review Committee, a panel created by lawmakers two years ago to study why and under what circumstances women died during and within one year of pregnancy.
The findings of the committee in its inaugural annual report are eye-opening and should be examined closely by lawmakers, doctors, social workers and others.
