Mercy Maternity Center is a charity birthing center located in Davao City, Philippines. It was established ten years ago to provide compassion-based maternal health care to women living in severe poverty. In addition, it serves as a clinical training site for students desiring to study midwifery within the context of a developing country. The primary heart of 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 during the past ten years from a small staff and delivering only a few babies each month to become the largest charity birthing center in the Philippines. Almost 20,000 patients are served each year and approximately 1,500 babies are delivered annually. All services are provided free of charge. MMC received an honorable recognition by the Philippine Undersecretary of the Dept. of Health who after touring our facility named Mercy Maternity Center as the “model birthing center for the entire country.”
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 80 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.
