About Us

Ipas, founded in 1973 in North Carolina, USA, operates globally to promote reproductive justice by expanding access to abortion (referred to as menstrual regulation (MR) in Bangladesh)* and contraception.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2024

    Ipas is not a distributor of medical supplies. Our services focus on, among other things, the dissemination of evidence-based information and the technical training needed to provide quality safe abortion care. The services we offer are provided at no cost to the public, as we are a non-profit organization.
