Motion
On Equity in Maternal Health Data
The Young World Parliament,
Noting that national averages can conceal large differences in maternal outcomes between communities,
Convinced that what is not measured is rarely improved,
- Urges health authorities to publish maternal health outcomes disaggregated by region, income and ethnicity, with appropriate privacy protections;
- Recommends that community health workers be trained and resourced to record outcomes in underserved areas;
- Transmits this Resolution to the United World Leaders Women’s Healthcare Council.
