Since 2011, Ipas has been working in Bangladesh in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), its directorates, and other relevant ministries to improve the availability, accessibility, affordability, and quality of SRHR services, with a focus on Family Planning (FP), Menstrual Regulation (MR), and Post-Abortion Care (PAC).
