Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee

The Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee (MMMRC) is a 17-member multidisciplinary committee. Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 34, directs the MMMRC to study and review: 

  • Cases of pregnancy-related deaths; 

  • Trends, rates, or disparities in pregnancy-related deaths and severe maternal morbidity; 

  • Health conditions and factors that disproportionately affect the most at-risk populations; and 

  • Best practices and programs operating in other states that have reduced rates of deaths related to pregnancy.
