MOMS Act

The Modernizing Obstetric Medicine Standards (MOMS) Act aims to reduce maternal mortality and complications by standardizing the quality of care provided to pregnant and postpartum women. The bill formally authorizes the "Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health" (AIM), a program that develops evidence-based toolkits to help hospitals respond effectively to obstetric emergencies like severe bleeding or high blood pressure. Additionally, it creates new federal grants to help states and hospitals implement these safety protocols and purchase necessary medical equipment. For citizens, this legislation is designed to ensure that regardless of where a person gives birth, their medical team is following the most current and effective safety standards to prevent pregnancy-related injuries and deaths.
