Bill 118 s 3722, also known as the Maternal Health Care Access Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of access to maternal health care within the military health system. The bill requires a report to be conducted on the current state of maternal health care access for service members and their families, with a focus on identifying any barriers or challenges that may exist.
The report will also examine the availability of maternal health care services within military health facilities, as well as the quality of care provided to pregnant service members and their dependents. Additionally, the bill seeks to identify any disparities in access to maternal health care based on factors such as rank, branch of service, or geographic location.
In addition to the report, the bill includes provisions for improving access to maternal health care within the military health system. This may include recommendations for increasing the availability of prenatal care services, improving the training of health care providers, or expanding access to specialized maternal health services.
Overall, the Maternal Health Care Access Act aims to ensure that service members and their families have access to high-quality maternal health care services within the military health system. By conducting a thorough assessment of the current state of maternal health care access and implementing recommendations for improvement, the bill seeks to address any disparities or challenges that may exist in this important area of health care.
