Bangladesh

Ipas began working in Bangladesh in 2011 to reduce deaths and injuries related to unsafe abortion by strengthening postabortion care (treatment for complications of unsafe abortion) and menstrual regulation services. Ipas Bangladesh also advocates for policy changes that will expand women’s access to these health services, and we support efforts to strengthen sexual and reproductive health-care topics in the training curricula for nurses, midwives and OB-GYNs. Together with partners, we are also building a training program for health providers who serve Rohingya refugees, making badly needed reproductive health services available to more refugee women and girls.

We welcome suppliers, including independent consultants, academic and professional institutions, community-based, faith-based, sub-national/national, non-governmental, and global organizations, to collaborate with us to advance the Ipas mission. Our suppliers become valued partners in our supply chain as they enable us to achieve our mission cost-effectively, timely, sustainably and in line with our policies. Our procurement teams are focused on fostering enduring mutually beneficial relationships for our suppliers and Ipas. We expect all our suppliers to be committed to the Ipas mission and to share our sense of purpose and commitment to enhance a sustainable abortion ecosystem that ensures that all people have bodily autonomy and can access the essential health care they need.
