Background

I would like the government to approve my act PIPA - The Postpartum Infection Prevention Act. This is "To mandate internal and external swabbing for all postpartum women presenting with a vaginal birth-related suture/tear or infection."

Additional details

To prevent misdiagnosis, recurring infections, potential impacts on future fertility, and life-threatening invasive infections such as Strep A, toxic shock syndrome, or sepsis, implement a mandatory dual-site swabbing protocol (internal and external) for all postpartum patients presenting with suspected suture/tear infections following vaginal delivery.
