The Kenneth C. Frazier Award for Maternal Health Equity
In many countries, unacceptable and inequitable maternal health outcomes persist. A long history of structural discrimination and unequal access to health care, as well as the underlying social determinants of health, are some of the key factors that contribute to these inequities.
Around the world, visionary leaders and community-based organizations are creating a path to a better world where maternal health outcomes are more equitable, and pregnancy and childbirth are safer. They are helping to create a world where prenatal visits, labor and delivery and postpartum encounters for the first year after childbirth contribute to healthier maternal health outcomes.
In 2021, we launched the Kenneth C. Frazier Award for Maternal Health Equity. This annual award was established in recognition of the legacy and commitment to maternal health by Kenneth C. Frazier, retired chairman and CEO. Every year, the grant award is bestowed upon one organization to celebrate its commitment to and progress toward more equitable, high-quality maternal health care.
The 2024 call for nominations is now open here.
