Bill overview
The Kira Johnson Act aims to reduce preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, particularly among demographic groups with health disparities. It provides grants for community-based programs to improve maternal health outcomes, training for healthcare providers on reducing bias in care, and the establishment of ‘respectful maternity care’ compliance programs in hospitals and health systems. Additionally, the bill directs the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study training programs and the Government Accountability Office to assess compliance programs, and mandates a GAO report on the implementation of these programs.
