HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - Many new moms say holding their newborn for the first time is the happiest moment of their lives, but a new DHEC report shows more moms and their babies aren’t making it to their first birthday.
South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control released its latest reports on infant and maternal mortality rates showing an alarming increase.
DHEC’s Bureau of Maternal and Child Health shared its annual report stating that South Carolina’s infant mortality rate rose 12% from 2020 to 2021.
The death of babies born to non-Hispanic Black mothers also grew by almost 40% since 2017.
According to the report, the number of babies that died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS doubled, and the total number of babies that died is the highest South Carolina has seen in nearly a decade.
Also, African American babies continued to suffer disproportionately dying at a rate nearly 2.5 times higher than white babies.
The three leading causes of infant deaths in the state in 2021 were birth defects, disorders from premature births and pregnancy complications.
SIDS ranked 4th and accidental deaths ranked 5th with 25 of the 26 accidental deaths due to suffocation or strangulation in bed.
DHEC’s Maternal Morbidity and Mortality Review Committee (SCMMMRC) released its latest report showing maternal death rates were up 9.3% from the year before.
Similar to infant deaths, the SCMMMRC found that Black mothers experienced a 67% higher pregnancy-related mortality ratio than white mothers in both 2018 and 2019.
