IMCI FOCUS GOALS

According to data collected from the MDH in 2022 it showed “ Black Minnesotans represent 13% of the birthing population but made up 23% of pregnancy-associated deaths, and American Indian Minnesotans represent 2% of the birthing population, but 8% of pregnancy-associated deaths.” IMCI will focus on finding ways that can reduce some of the maternal and child mortality rates in the marginalized community. How would we do this ( advocacy for more pregnancy screening, pre/postnatal care by finding and connecting them to their needed services, educating women on pregnancy care and birthing, educational interventions on vaccine hesitancy for children
