MaterCare is an organization of Catholic health professionals dedicated to the care of mothers and babies, both born and unborn, through new initiatives of service, training, research and advocacy, which are designed to reduce the tragically high rates of maternal mortality, morbidity and abortion.  MCI’s mission is to carry out the work of Evangelium Vitae (the Gospel of Life) by improving the lives and health of mothers and babies both born and unborn, through new initiatives of service, training, research, and advocacy designed to reduce the tragic levels of abortion world-wide and maternal and perinatal mortality, morbidity in developing countries.

Featured Project: Haiti

Two days following the earthquake in Haiti, MCI received a request it could not refuse from Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity asking for medical help at their centre in Port au Prince (P au P), where they had been overwhelmed by severely injured adults and children.
