England has a serious childbirth problem. Black people in England are four times more likely to die during childbirth than their white counterparts. People who do not speak English face even more dire statistics, with a risk of death up to 25 times higher. These disparities are a national disgrace, highlighting a deadly systemic breakdown in care that must be rectified immediately.

The current state of maternal health care for Black, South Asian, and non-English speaking women in the UK is not just alarming — it’s unacceptable. The NHS must transition from patient-centered to person-centered care, ensuring that every mother, regardless of her background, receives the respect, attention, and medical care she deserves.

Please sign this petition to demand the UK Department of Health and Social Care address these shocking disparities in maternal health outcomes!
