Marie Stopes Bangladesh (MSB)

What Marie Stopes Bangladesh (MSB) does

Marie Stopes Bangladesh (MSB) is a private non-profit organization founded in 1988 and headquartered in Dhaka, operating as the Bangladesh country entity of the global Marie Stopes International reproductive health network. MSB delivers comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and family planning (FP) services through a distributed service model comprising 50 static clinics, 141 static centers delivering the WHO Extended Programme on Immunization, mobile outreach teams, social marketing partners, and a multi-channel contact center (toll-free phone, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger). The core service portfolio spans maternity care (ante-natal, delivery, post-natal), contraception and family planning (all major short- and long-term methods including IUDs, implants, and permanent methods), menstrual regulation (medical and surgical) with aftercare and pregnancy crisis counselling, SRH services (STI testing, cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, gynaecology consultations), general health consultations, laboratory diagnostics, and immunizations.

The business model is a hybrid non-profit delivery model: services are delivered to individual end-users (women, men, and adolescents) across Bangladesh with revenue inflows derived from project-based grants and donor funding routed through Marie Stopes International, supplemented by user-paid service fees (pricing not publicly disclosed). The 2026 'Delivering Quality SRH-FP Services to Underserved Areas in Bangladesh' project carries a disclosed budget of 111,533,115 BDT targeting 220,141 beneficiaries across 36 districts. The go-to-market combines physical clinic distribution, outreach field teams, social marketing partner networks, an online appointment booking system, and an online contraception counsellor digital tool. Customer segments span three primary personas — women and families seeking SRH and maternity care, men seeking reproductive health services, and underserved rural/semi-urban communities prioritized under explicit project mandates. The organization is led by Country Director Kishwar Imdad and is governed under a strategic partnership with the Directorate General of Family Planning under Bangladesh's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, formalized through the July 2025 launch of the MS Ladies project.
