Most of these deaths are preventable when women have access to modern contraception and quality maternal health care before, during, and after childbirth.
Her baby is 15 times more likely to die before age two, and her other children are more likely to leave school, suffer from poor health, or die prematurely.
Working together with our partners, we can help make pregnancy and childbirth a safe, healthy, and joyful experience for women.

Can you envision a world where no mother dies giving birth? We can. That's the vision of Merck for Mothers, Merck’s 10-year, $500 million initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of mothers before, during and after pregnancy and childbirth.
We can end preventable maternal deaths in our lifetime, but we can’t do it alone. Together, we are inventing programs, partnerships, and solutions to move the needle on this global challenge. Join us.
