quires a strong and uniform response across all

which involve a multidisciplinary group of experts in-
cluding physicians, epidemiologists, and others, have 
made significant advancements in identifying, char-
acterizing, and providing a deeper understanding of 
the circumstances surrounding each maternal death,

stakeholders including access to the CDC’s National 
Death Index data and State death certificate data;

review committee which would conduct reviews of 
each death of a service member or dependent during 
pregnancy or childbirth involving a multidisciplinary 
group of experts including physicians, epidemiolo-
gists, patient advocates, civilians with experience
