Creates global program to train health workers and fund care for mothers and children in poorer countries.
This bill would establish the 'Safe Passages Maternal and Child Health Program' to reduce deaths among mothers and children in low-income countries. It would set aside at least $400 million each year to train local health workers, provide medical resources, and support families. The program would focus on preventing common pregnancy and childbirth complications. It would also promote natural fertility awareness and fathers' involvement in family care.
Current law provides assistance for maternal and child health and nutrition, but this bill would add specific priorities, program elements, and guaranteed funding. This bill would establish the 'Safe Passages Maternal and Child Health Program' and mandate at least $400,000,000 annually from the Global Health Programs account for these initiatives. It would also change existing law to prioritize specific life-affirming interventions, including training for health providers, nutritional support for mothers and children, and father involvement, while explicitly excluding abortion services.
