Bill overview
The Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act aims to improve obstetric emergency care in rural areas by increasing access to training, equipment, and telehealth services. It expands grant programs within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support hospitals and health care facilities in providing emergency obstetric services, particularly in areas with workforce shortages. The bill also establishes a pilot program for telehealth access and requires a study on maternity ward closures and regional partnerships for rural obstetric care.
