Maternal healthcare has advanced significantly over the past few decades, yet disparities in obstetric care remain a persistent and concerning issue across healthcare systems. Research consistently shows that factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language barriers, geographic location, and implicit bias can influence the quality of obstetric care patients receive. These disparities not only affect maternal and neonatal outcomes but also have growing medical-legal implications for healthcare providers, hospitals, insurers, and legal professionals.
