Healthy Women, Healthy Families (Shustha Ma, Shustha Poribar) Factsheet

With a dynamic group of partners, MSH is leading the three-year Healthy Women, Healthy Families project (Shustha Ma, Shustha Poribar in Bangla) to increase utilization and improve quality of maternal and newborn health and family planning services for young Bangladeshi women and their partners in the underserved urban slums of Tongi, Gazipur City Corporation, near Dhaka.

The project aims to provide person-centered, responsive, and culturally appropriate services that will improve the quality, acceptability, and accessibility of care for young women and their children in Tongi; improve birth spacing; and provide evidence to inform future models of care for young women and couples in Bangladesh.
