The Mississippi Obstetric (OB) System of Care is designed to ensure that pregnant women with high-risk deliveries are transported to the most effective care, and receive pre- and post-natal health resources.

Mississippi's infant and maternal mortality rates are among the highest in the nation. In addition to maternal and child health programs, the OB System of Care is designed to help reduce these high mortality rates and result in safer, healthier deliveries and improved post-natal health for mother and child.
