Researchers in the US are facing a major setback after being denied access to a unique CDC database containing critical information on maternal and infant health. The interruption, aimed at aligning the data with Trump-era executive orders, has significant implications for public health research. The suspension affects studies on maternal mortality, infant care, and women's health, highlighting the need for reliable data in healthcare policy. With the database offline, researchers are calling for swift action to restore access and ensure continuity in vital health research, including maternal health studies and infant health initiatives.
