First responders are being trained on OBGYN emergencies to help fill gaps in rural America.
JACKSON, Miss. — There is a lot of pressure on emergency personnel to prevent and to save, but in rural America, those responding don't always have vast experience, especially when it comes to pregnant and birthing people.
"Over 50 counties in Mississippi don't have obstetric-trained providers," Dr. Morris said."Pregnant mothers and their newborns are dying. This is not anything unique to Mississippi; we have huge issues with maternal morbidity and mortality across the country. We're one great example where access to care makes a difference."
"It's seconds really. The second that you're able to realize something's wrong with a mom, if you can intervene quickly, you can save that mom and baby so it's truly seconds," Wells said. "Some may only have two ambulances in their entire county that covers a 60-mile span," Dr. Lewis said.
