Since our founding in 1973, Ipas has improved reproductive health by expanding access to abortion and contraception and by protecting individuals’ right to bodily autonomy and to make their own reproductive health decisions.

Ipas Nepal, a non-governmental organization, has been providing technical support to the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) to initiate and expand Safe Abortion Services (SAS) in the country since the legalization of abortion in 2002.

Ipas Nepal works closely with MoHP, Department of Health Services (DoHS) and different divisions and centers such as Family Welfare Division (FWD), National Health Training Center (NHTC), contraceptive care. Management Division (MD), Logistics Management Division (LMD), National Health Education, Information and Communication Center (NHEICC) and concerned District Public/ Health Offices (D/PHOs).
