in 1921. In 1977, MSI set up its first overseas centre in Ireland and

a year later set up a programme in India. Today, the MSI Global

Partnership provides sexual and reproductive health information and

services to 3.3 million people worldwide in 38 countries across

Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East

health and giving them control over their fertility.

These services include: family planning; obstetric care; ante- and

solutions and translate their plans into action.
