More Bad News from Britain’s NHS

Posted on by John C. Goodman
  • The UK’s maternal mortality rates are 20% higher than in 2010, despite a 2015 government target to halve maternal, stillborn and neonatal death rates by 2025.
  • There are stark inequalities in outcomes, with Black women having a risk of maternal death nearly three times higher than that of White women, and women from minority backgrounds being less likely to receive certain medical treatments.

  1. I watched a recent YouTube video on Britain that explained that England has a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi, America’s poorest state. I’d like to see a well made documentary of where Britain went wrong, while Germany and Poland seem to be doing well.
