• Although this report only includes data from 2019-2021, reports from previous years show maternal mortality rates have been largely unchanged for the last decade or more.
• Numerous reports have also shown that black women receive poorer maternity care compared with women from other ethnic backgrounds, which may further contribute to poorer health outcomes.
• By denying someone credibility, it may make them feel less able to request care and raise worries.

Racial prejudice

• Often, racial prejudice is a root cause.
• The NHS Race and Health Observatory has made similar conclusions, showing many black patients experience patronising and judgemental attitudes from healthcare staff.
• Many justify this lack of engagement on feeble grounds – for instance, by insisting black women are hard to recruit.
• This may lead to worse health outcomes for these patients, and further diminish levels of trust the black community has in healthcare practitioners and institutions.

Making change

• While the negative impacts of epistemic injustice on the maternal healthcare that black women receive is clear, addressing these problems within the NHS will require change at nearly every level.
• Current NHS strategies such as hiring more diverse staff and rethinking research priorities are one step in the right direction.
• Gynaecology and obstetric researchers must proactively include black women in their studies to ensure their distinctive needs and concerns are met.
