Black women in the United States are experiencing child loss at tragic rates. This human loss is entirely preventable with even marginal changes to education within the medical sciences. Research demonstrates that Black women experience the loss of ten thousand babies every year in the US (Kennedy). This is an insurmountable loss. Other women in the US experience far less infant mortality, so it's not a result of living in the USA. Surname suggests that requiring lectures on meeting the needs of Black patients specifically can reduce this number by twenty percent. Even if the actual results will be less than this prediction, it will make a world of difference to every impacted patient. It is worth the small change in medical practitioners' education plans to save lives.

The economy is negatively impacted when women spend additional time out of the workplace to go through physical and mental therapy after such a huge loss. Additionally, the lawsuits against medical practitioners and hospitals are a completely avoidable monetary strain. Surname suggests that hospitals cost taxpayers about three billion dollars a year. That money could go to improving public awareness about the shortcomings in medical care for maternity needs. It's also true that, compared to white women, "Black women take an additional ten days to recover" after a hospital loss versus a regular maternity leave when the hospitals successfully deliver their child (Hatake). This accounts to an average of seven thousand additional days of recovery in the United States where these members of society are unable to work (Hatake). The economy and the workers greatly benefit from this small change to medical education. A stronger economy leads people to feeling more secure to have a child, and this will also benefit the economy by increasing the demand of many services and goods.
