Using Alabama as a case study in rural health, this NewsHour program discusses a CDC report that shows that maternal deaths nearly doubled over three years, with over 1,200 deaths in 2021. In rural communities, where maternal mortality is almost double urban rates, there is a constant struggle to access lifesaving maternal healthcare. With support from the Pulitzer Center and in collaboration with the Global Health Reporting Center, Stephanie Sy reports from Pickens County, Alabama, for our series Rural RX.
