Myanmar

Ipas began working in Myanmar in 2014 in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Department of Public Health to improve the quality of postabortion care (treatment for complications of unsafe abortion) in public facilities, including provision of training and support to health providers. Ipas Myanmar works with partner organizations to raise public awareness about the dangers of unsafe abortion and how to obtain safe and comprehensive contraceptive and postabortion care. Ipas Myanmar has also provided the Department of Public Health with technical expertise that resulted in revised and updated national postabortion care guidelines. In communities, Ipas Myanmar’s outreach work seeks to educate women—including underserved young women—on how to prevent unintended pregnancies and access safe postabortion care.

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.
