About Marie Stopes Nigeria

Delivering quality, voluntary and affordable reproductive health and family planning services

Serving one of the world's fastest growing populations

Marie Stopes International Organisation Nigeria (MSION) has been delivering services since opening its first clinic in 2009.

In doing so, we became one of the few providers of long-acting and voluntary, permanent contraception in Nigeria, and through the hard work of our dedicated teams are helping to increase awareness and contraception usage across the country.

We estimate that more than 10% of women now using contraception in Nigeria were provided with their method of choice by us.

Expanding our scope and capacity

We continue to extend the services we offer in Nigeria to increase the uptake of sexual and reproductive health services.

Our Clinics in Lagos, Abuja and Benin offer a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services to urban communities, including family planning services, emergency contraception, pre and post-natal care, diagnosis and treatment of STIs, pregnancy testing, voluntary counselling and testing for HIV, ultrasound and laboratory services.

In addition to our Clinics, we employ Mobile Outreach teams – composed of doctors, nurses and drivers, who travel to hard-to-reach areas of Nigeria – to offer a range of contraceptive services to those who need them the most. We also provide services through our BlueStar Social Franchise Network, allowing communities across the country to access contraception from quality assured private pharmacies, and all at affordable prices.

Working together with the government of Nigeria, as well as existing private healthcare providers, we have trained over 300 franchisees to deliver high quality family planning services to women across Nigeria.
