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. Private Sector Partnerships
To improve the Sexual and Reproductive Health of the poor and marginalized MSS has formed partnerships with:
| a) |
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. |
| b) |
OMV - an Austrian energy exploration company - and MSS have started work together on a project to provide Safe Motherhood services to the Salehpat and Miano (Sind) communities and their surrounding scattered clusters of populations. MSS is running of the Mother and Child Health Center in Salehpat where basic emergency obstetric care services and Cesarean sections will be provided and referrals made to the nearby Sukkur hospital for tertiary care. The project involves the cooperation of the local government. |
