$45,000
Ipas Mexico is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending unsafe abortion and expanding access to safe abortion and contraception. This X-grant will allow Ipas to design and begin a collaboration with the Mexico City public health system to strengthen its response to COVID-19 and maternal and reproductive health needs in at least two of the city’s health facilities that provide women-centered maternal health and abortion care. This may include promoting telemedicine and other minimal-contact modalities for reproductive health care, including abortion; Ipas will work toward a plan to document the interventions so they can be scaled up in the future. Intended outcomes are better, safer maternal and reproductive services for women during the pandemic in Mexico City.

$350,000
Ipas is a global nonprofit organization that works to increase women’s ability to exercise their reproductive and sexual rights. The organization has offices in Mexico and other countries around the world. With this award, Ipas advocates for improved task sharing in reproductive and maternal health services and for strengthening the pre-service training for students of midwifery. Improved task sharing will open new possibilities for the inclusion of non-medical maternal health providers, including midwives and obstetric and perinatal nurses, which will in turn improve women’s access to quality services at the primary care level in Mexico.

$150,000
Founded in 1973, Ipas is a global nongovernmental organization dedicated to ending preventable deaths and disabilities from unsafe abortion. This award supports Ipas to strengthen pre-service training of medical interns (house officers) in providing high-quality comprehensive abortion care services and other life-saving maternal health interventions such as magnesium sulfate to manage pre/eclampsia, misoprostol to prevent and manage postpartum hemorrhage, and the anti-shock garment to manage shock. The project is expected to lead to the adoption of the expanded training guide for interns and the teaching and provision of life-saving maternal health services in university teaching hospitals.

The purpose of the proposed grant is to demonstrate ways to build the knowledge and skills of medical interns at three teaching hospitals to provide reproductive and maternal health care. The pilot in three universities will be coordinated with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria that serves as the accreditation body for institutions that train medical interns, and a training guide for use in the country will be one product of the work. A portion of the grant will be used to partner with other organizations to support two separate reproductive and maternal health conferences.
