Mercy Maternity Center is a charity birthing clinic located in Davao City, Philippines. It was established eleven years ago to provide compassion-based maternal healthcare to women living in severe poverty conditions. In addition, it serves as a clinical training site for students desiring to study midwifery within the context of a developing country. The primary focus of Mercy Maternity Center (MMC) is to use midwifery skills as a way to show God's kindness and love to people in a practical and relevant way.
Mercy Maternity Center has grown over the years, from a small staff
and delivering only a few babies each month, to become the largest
charity-based birthing center in the Philippines.
Almost 20,000 patients (prenatal exams) are served each year and approximately 1,500 babies are delivered annually. All services are provided free of charge. MMC is certified and licensed by the Philippine Dept. of Health (DOH) and it received an honorable recognition by the Philippine National DOH Undersecretary who after touring our facility named Mercy Maternity Center as the "model birthing center for the entire country."
An average of 1,500 babies are delivered every year at MMC.
MMC is the primary clinical training site for students studying at Newlife International School of Midwifery. The tuition fees paid by students attending the school go directly to fund MMC. This is deeply fulfilling for each student knowing the money they pay for their schooling is going directly to help the poor.
More than 120 foreign students have studied at Mercy Maternity Center. They have come from countries such as South Africa, China, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, Jamaica and the United States. We're proud to say that many graduates have gone into other countries around the world to work as missionaries or partner with humanitarian organizations.
