Maternal Health Equity

Raise Care and Deliver Joy

U.S. maternal mortality rates are among the highest of developed countries, and they are especially high among Black moms, who die from pregnancy-related complications at more than three times the rate of other ethnic groups — regardless of their income or education levels. Pampers believes every parent should experience the full joy of pregnancy and beyond. We have been committed to supporting positive maternal health outcomes through resources and partnerships that help to deliver more compassionate care.
