This powerful campaign supports governments in defining policies to enhance access to regulated, safe, effective and equitable fertility care solutions. It defines interventions to break the stigma around infertile women and raises awareness about infertility prevention, management and male infertility. In partnership with African First Ladies, Ministries of Health, Information, Education &amp; Gender, academia, policymakers, International fertility societies, media and art, the initiative also provides training for fertility specialists and embryologists to build and advance fertility care capacity in Africa and developing countries.<\/p><p>With \u201cMerck Foundation More Than a Mother\u201d, we have initiated a cultural shift to de-stigmatize infertility at all levels: By improving awareness, training local experts in the fields of fertility care and media, building advocacy in cooperation with African First Ladies and women leaders and by supporting childless women in starting their own small businesses. It\u2019s all about giving every woman the respect and the help she deserves to live a fulfilling life, with or without a child.<\/p><p>The Ambassadors of \u201cMerck Foundation More Than a Mother\u201d are:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aniportalimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/media\/details\/Capture_qYOAEOY.PNG\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><p>Merck Foundation launched new innovative initiatives to sensitize local communities about infertility prevention, male infertility with the aim to break the stigma of infertility and empowering infertile women as part of Merck Foundation More than a Mother COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, such as;<\/p><p>\u2018Merck Foundation More than a Mother\u2019 Africa Media Recognition Awards and Health Media Training<\/p><p>\u2018Merck Foundation More than a Mother\u2019 Fashion Awards<\/p><p>\u2018Merck Foundation More than a Mother\u2019 Film Awards<\/p><p>\u2018Merck Foundation More than a Mother\u2019 Song Awards<\/p><p>Local songs with local artists to address the cultural perception of infertility and how to change it<\/p><p>Children storybook, localized for each country<\/p><p>Click on the link below to Download Merck Foundation App<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=de.merck.foundation&#038;hl=en\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Join the conversation on our social media platforms below and let your voice be heard<\/p><p>Facebook:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/merckfoundation\/\" target=\"_blank\">MerckFoundation<\/a><br>Twitter:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MerckFoundation\" target=\"_blank\">@Merckfoundation<\/a><br>YouTube:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eQ1GIZSPlhk&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0MerckFoundation<\/a><br>Instagram:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/merckfoundation\/\" target=\"_blank\">MerckFoundation<\/a><br>Flickr:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/163124125@N08\/\" target=\"_blank\">MerckFoundation<\/a><br>Website:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merck-foundation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.merck-foundation.com<\/a><br><br>This story is provided by BusinessWire India.
