Georgia health officials are laying out efforts to stem the tide of increasing deaths among new mothers in the state. Tuesday's discussion before the state Board of Public Health comes as evidence shows death rates from pregnancy have risen more steeply in Georgia that almost any other state. The state’s numbers have found that 113 women died from pregnancy-related causes from 2018 to 2020. That’s 30.2 deaths for every 100,000 live births. A study published last week found that death rates more than doubled in Georgia for white, Black, Hispanic and Asian women between 1999 and 2019. State officials highlighted efforts Tuesday to treat bleeding, high blood pressure, heart problems and mental health disorders.
