Mothers and Newborns Success Act

This bill would change the Public Health Service Act to fund federal maternal and infant health programs. It would continue grant programs that help states address maternal deaths and serious pregnancy complications, including a rural maternity care program, and would authorize $53 million a year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030 for the state program. It would create grants to classify birthing facilities by the level of care they can provide, grants to check the accuracy of pregnancy information on death certificates, and a postpartum care pilot program for up to 10 grantees. It would also set up a National Institutes of Health maternal health research network funded at $50 million a year, and a national awareness campaign on maternal health warning signs and vaccines for pregnant women and children. The bill requires several reports to Congress.
