The ACIMM advises the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(Secretary) on department activities, partnerships, policies, and
programs directed at reducing infant mortality, maternal mortality and
severe maternal morbidity, and improving the health status of infants

similar efforts in the private and voluntary sectors. The Committee
provides guidance and recommendations on the policies, programs, and

mortality, related adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes,
including maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its

contributing to the inequities and proposes structural, policy, and/or
systems level changes.
