Idaho Disbands Maternal Mortality Review Committee Amid National Surge in Deaths. Idaho is now the only state without a process for reviewing and attempting to prevent pregnancy-related deaths.

"The whole idea is not necessarily to find someone to blame, but how do we improve our systems, and fight to make sure that we have the resources so that women are not in danger," former committee member and Maternal Fetal Physician Specialist, Dr. Stacy Seyb said.

The number of maternal deaths will still be tracked, according to IDHW Women and Infant Health Program Manager Jennifer Liposhak.
