They eliminated all the employees at PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System) despite the maternal health crisis, even with the multitude of programs targeting this issue, the progress has been very slow. I guess now if we aren’t tracking it, there is no crisis?

Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing, site-specific, and population-based surveillance system. PRAMS is designed to identify groups of women and infants at high risk for health problems, to monitor changes in health status, and to measure progress towards goals in improving the health of mothers and infants.
