Partners

Marie Stopes Society believes in building and working through partnerships with the Government, Private Sector, NGOs and local Community Based Organizations. MSS has and maintains excellent Public Private Partnerships with:-

1. Ministry of Population Welfare (MoPW)

All MSS clinical centers are registered as Reproductive Health (RH) “B” Centers therefore directly contributing to the Ministry of Population Welfare’s national outputs.

15% of the country’s total number of permanent contraception (tubal ligation & vasectomy) is provided by MSS, hence enhancing MoPW’s outputs.

2. Ministry of Health (MoH)

The Lady Health Workers (LHW) Programme – 20% of the LHW’s referrals are directed to MSS centers for services.

3. Public Partner Partnership

To improve the Sexual and Reproductive Health of the poor and marginalized MSS has formed partnerships with:

  • Turbat Headquarter Hospital – As a Public Partner Partnership initiative MSS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 4th May 2007 with the Secretary Health Balochistan and the District Nazim whereby MSS committed to upgrade the maternity unit of the Turbat Headquarter Hospital.

The Orix Leasing Company and The Royal Group have also supported MSS in the past, while currently, Pakistan State Oil, the British Women’s Association, Unilever Pakistan, International Industries Ltd, English Biscuits manufacturers, Deutsche Bank, PARCO and other such concerns and groups have shown interest in contributing towards MSS’ efforts.
