|
| |
|
We have released a new report examining the state of maternal mortality across Europe and solutions supported by Merck for Mothers. While a significant decline in maternal mortality occurred in Europe, the World Health Organization estimates that 1,000 European women still die annually due to complications of pregnancy or childbirth. Merck for Mothers works to address challenges across the maternal health space by improving access to quality health care and family planning services with programs tailored to meet the needs of women everywhere, especially those from underserved and marginalized communities.
