Young Kim Introduces Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Act to Strengthen U.S. Leadership, Support American Jobs, and Help Families Globally | 2026-07-02 | 2026 | 2026-07 | Republican | House | CA | Young Kim | K000397 | youngkim.house.gov | youngkim | https://youngkim.house.gov/media/press-releases/ | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-40) introduced the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Act to deploy proven, American-made interventions that reduce maternal and child mortality around the globe while supporting U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. Each year, nearly 260,000 women die from preventable pregnancy-related complications. Evidence-based solutions like Multiple Micronutrient Supplement (MMS) prenatal vitamins, skilled birth attendants, and basic infection treatment can dramatically reduce these deaths, yet too often they remain out of reach for women in the world’s most vulnerable communities. The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Act directs targeted U.S. global health assistance to scale these interventions in select partner countries, prioritizing results, accountability, and American-made solutions. “As a mom and grandma, I know nothing matters more than the health of our children,” said Rep. Young Kim. “The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Act is a smart, targeted, and cost-effective approach that saves lives while strengthening America’s leadership abroad. By scaling proven interventions, supporting American manufacturing, and partnering with countries committed to better outcomes, we are advancing U.S. interests and building a more stable world.” MMS prenatal vitamins and other interventions supported by the bill are powered by American innovation and manufacturing, putting U.S. innovation to work while reinforcing supply chains at home. By reducing maternal and child mortality, the United States can help foster more stable, prosperous partner nations, strengthen diplomatic ties, and counter global instability. | 1 | 2026-07-03T08:00:00Z | 2026-07-03T08:01:30Z |
