Summary

This study looks at whether women from different backgrounds have equal access to ambulance services during pregnancy, birth, and after having a baby. Researchers will analyze data from 18,000 women in Manchester, UK, comparing those who used an ambulance with those who didn't, and examine health outcomes for both mothers and babies. The goal is to find ways to make emergency maternity care safer and more equal for everyone.
