Massachusetts H2704 amends postpartum treatment for women in correctional facilities.

Massachusetts H2704 modifies the postpartum treatment of women in correctional facilities. It ensures that an inmate remains in the hospital until both the attending physician and the pediatrician certify that the mother and infant are ready for transfer back to the correctional facility. This change aims to reasonably ensure the health of the infant up to, but not exceeding, 72 hours postpartum.
