S. RES. 530 wants to make January 23, 2024, a special day called "Maternal Health Awareness Day" to help people think about and take care of moms' health, making sure all moms get good care and everyone works together to make it better.

The bill, called the “Mamas First Act,” wants to make sure that Medicaid covers the help given by doulas and midwives, who are special people that support moms during and after having a baby, to help keep both moms and babies healthy and safe. It also wants to make sure this help feels familiar and comfortable to moms from different cultures, especially in tribal communities.

The BABIES Act is a plan to help moms and babies by making more places where babies can be born. It gives money to these places to start or grow, especially in areas that need them, and tries new ways to pay for these services to make care better for everyone.

This bill wants to help hospitals in small towns and places that don't have a lot of money to better take care of moms and babies when they are born. It plans to give more money to these hospitals and make sure doctors and nurses are ready to help, especially if they have to close some of their services.
