A Case Study Of California's Maternal Health Landscape And Recommendations For Mississippi, Kinley Miller

The case study suggests that all of these policies in conjunction with one another correlates with a decrease maternal mortality. California’s proactive approach and ability to mobilize public and private entities are key attributors to its success in …
