Black mothers say they have been failed by maternity care services

Black mothers have told Sky News they were treated differently by hospitals while giving birth because of their race.

We spoke to three women who were cared for in three different hospitals.

They all shared a similar experience: Their pain was ignored, their concerns were dismissed – and they believe the colour of their skin played part in the treatment they received.
