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.

MSD for Mothers is MSD’s $500 million initiative to create a world where no woman has to die giving life. Applying MSD’s business and scientific resources, we collaborate with partners to improve the health and well-being of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
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.
