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.
In 2011, Ipas began operations in Bangladesh, collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP), Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM), NGOs, donors, and stakeholders for strengthening the health system. Initially focusing on menstrual regulation (MR), postabortion care (PAC), and family planning (FP) services, our efforts have evolved to advocate for institutionalized sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services.

    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.
