Article Synopsis
  • Social vulnerability significantly impacts perinatal medical risks for both mothers and fetuses, with one-third of maternal deaths between 2016-2018 linked to it.
  • A considerable portion of these deaths (73%) involved sub-optimal care, with a higher chance of avoidability (63%) compared to women without social vulnerability (56%).
