This federal Cooperative Agreement award of $1,140,000.00 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under CFDA 93.946, "Cooperative Agreements to Support State-Based Safe Motherhood and Infant Health Initiative Programs," will support the South Carolina Department of Public Health (SCDPH) in enhancing maternal mortality review processes, strengthening public health surveillance, and implementing evidence-based interventions to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. The five-year award, beginning on September 30, 2024, will enable SCDPH to conduct comprehensive reviews of maternal deaths, collect and analyze standardized maternal health data, and develop strategies to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity, with a particular focus on addressing racial and demographic health disparities. The funding will also support SCDPH's efforts to establish or enhance state-level maternal mortality review committees and provide technical assistance to other jurisdictions in implementing best practices for maternal mortality data collection and analysis.
