Black mothers are over twice as likely to be admitted to hospital with perinatal mental illnesses than white mothers, highlighting significant racial disparities in healthcare.
Several factors contribute to the ethnic disparities, including structural inequality, socioeconomic status, limited service access, and cultural attitudes towards mental health.
It is imperative for black women to have early access to community support services, especially amidst challenges in accessing care due to NHS mismanagement.
Black patients had 0.91 hospital admissions per 1,000 birth deliveries for perinatal mental illnesses compared to 0.43 admissions for white patients, illustrating a significant gap in healthcare outcomes.
